Sleeper Cell - Showtime TV series

I also am watching it for free so far. I have recorded it to tivo but have only watched the first one. I was still getting it as of last night for free (Tuesday). One thing that was of interest to me is that they were showing the connection between skin heads (Neo-Nazis) and Muslim terrorists. Very few people understand the long standing connection between the two. (It goes back at least to pre-World War II because they both hate the Jews and Israel). There was also a tie between Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols (who I consider Neo-Nazis) and Middle Eastern terrorists in the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. These connections have been covered up. (See "The Third Terrorist" by Jayna Davis). Then we also have the interesting connection between Andre Strassmeir and McVeigh. Andre is from Germany and I think his grandfather was one of the founders of the Nazi party. Again, I was glad to see this in the Sleeper Cell because it means the writers are doing their homework.

I like what I saw of the first two episodes, but I am not going to subscribe to Showtime just to see the remaining episodes.

I believe that the writers have done a good job so far from what I have seen.
