Stop ripping things from the headlines

Myself, I wish to God Hollywood would stop "commenting" on the GWOT (see previous post). It's getting so you can't watch TV anymore.

Last night wanting to watch TV before bedtime, I turned on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. A fairly straight-forward murder mystery became a condemnation of torturing detainees at Guantanamo after it was discovered that the psychiatrist treating the guy who committed the crime actually led him to commit the crime because she subjected him to the methods US forces were using in Guantanamo because she helped develop those methods and she--the psychiatrist--was determined to prove to herself that those methods could be used for good.

Sounds ridiculous, contrived and convoluted? Be thankful you got the abbreviated version.
