Producer Dick Wolf and crew take a few jabs at the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh, among others in this installment about the horrific murders of three "anchor" children at the hands of an overzealous American "patriot". The lines are delivered by guest star John Larrouquette who plays the reluctant defense lawyer of the accused.
The installment also allows cast member Ice-T the bulk of the screen time as his character becomes the prime force for the SVU team getting involved in a case that is normally not in its jurisdiction. The actor acquaints himself well, especially in his confrontations with fellow cast mate Dann Florek.
As is the cast of most installments, the "surprise" ending comes within the last few broadcast minutes, but a sharp viewer will see it coming before it actually occurs.
