"Law and Order: SVU" rips off reporter's story, then portrays him as trash-picker!

Investigative reporter Mark Benjamin dissects the last episode of "Law and Order: SVU" in which soldiers who took a malaria drug go nuts months later and start killing people including themselves. The storyline was "ripped from my headlines" - after three hard years of investigative reporting, Benjamin says. But Benjamin's biggest beef is how the reporter in "SVU" is portrayed - as a trash-picker with no ethics who turns his files over to the cops.
