I am a huge fan of 24 and have noticed this year, a lot more "Are we violating somebody's rights??? (whine, whine) being done and some not-so-veiled attacks on the Bush administration.

I dunno, perhaps give it more time to see where they are really heading with all that. I would think that after last night it is making the ACLU libs as portrayed by Sandra Palmer look like the fools they are. Probably a lot of viewers may have noted that while the innocent contingent in the detention camps may be having some of the 'rights violated', they are still alive, unlike tens of thousands of innocents in Valencia, CA.

This show could do the country a great service if it causes a lot of thought and discussion about the fact that some situations have only painful/high cost options, sometimes the best choice is the lesser of evils.

"This show could do the country a great service if"

Last night's episodes did.

During Level Red, go armed 24/7 even in your home in-case of a take-over and especially if you need to stop a bomber on a subway or bus.

Never do what a bad guy tells you to do nor believe bad guys will let hostages go free.

If you need to kill a bad guy; don't discuss your feelings, just do it (Nike version).

The lesser of two evils....

The show made me think about how sometimes evil can cause good.

Its a hard thing to cope with, but if you shoot a guy in the head and by doing so, stop him from delivering the critical piece of a nuclear weapon, you have done something that is immensely good.

Not always an obvious thing to people.... sometimes you have to do bad things for the better good.
