Great story on '24' - warning, spoiler
Apologies if posted already. Cannot search effectively.


Anyway, last we've heard, Walt Cummings, the W.H. chief of staff was in cahoot with the terrorists who first killed two hostages - and were going to kill more - then grabbed several cylinders of toxic gas, destination unknown.

This evening Cummings was exposed and... this was a plan to let the terrorists take the cylinders to their hideaway place in Central Asia. Once there, Cummings' man would detonate them thus killing all the terrorists in their dens and.... assuring the supply of Central Oil to the U.S.

1. Yep, it rocked and I was impressed
It's Rush Limbaugh's favorite show too, he's going to be PISSED tomorrow.

I've tried to like 24, I really have. But I come away thinking it's the most overrated TV show in history. Circuitous plots, lots of unnecessary yelling (all Jack does is "NOOOOOOOOO!!!," and, "Chloe! I need this NOW!"), and something going wrong every hour, on the hour. I'm happy for those who enjoy it, but not my cup of tea. Furthermore, the more die-hard fans seem unable to brook any dissension from hero-worship of Bauer & Co.

If you buy the word of a traitor. Would you buy Benedict Arnold's spiel? Logan may have been too supine to care about the danger to his country but Jack Bauer still saw right through him. That my friends, is the quality of being able to distinguish good from evil. A trait missing from liberals today.
