Law and Order: NBC's political arm

Tonight and last week, NBC's most recent episodes of the hit show Law and Order have served to make huge political statements.

Last week's episode dealt with the killing of a secret service agent, one connected to a high profile lobbyist who was connected to indian tribes. This plot was a clear swipe at Jack Abrahoff and his dealings with indian tribes and politicians on both sides of the asile.

Tonight's episode dealt with the killing of a private contractor who was back from Iraq. He was killed by the brother of someone he worked with, someone he sent to die. Various comments were made about Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, Exxon, and other companies and "the power they have". The key comment being about "doubting where the country is going in Iraq"

*sigh* It never stops does it, and George Clooney says he's proud of being out of touch...
