Anybody watch 24 last night? Specifically the scene where Jack was being questioned about torture by the Congressional committee?

I did, and I personally thought that scene was far too short. I would've preferred a good 15 - 20 minutes of the first hour to be devoted to questions directed towards Jack Bauer, with him telling various panel members to go piss up a rope.

From what I had read last year, the bulk of the premiere was to be a defense of Jack's techniques at obtaining information, it appears from last night we won't be seeing much of that beyond the 6-7 minutes of it from last night.

I will say this though: having Tony Almeida turn bad guy and go head to head with Jack is an interesting twist and I do look forward to see how that plays out.

That scene is right out of a Vince Flynn novel where blowhard Senators questions Mitch Rapp who is a Jack Bauer type character. The scary thing is that there are actually people in the Senate : Kennedy, Durban, Kerry...just to name 3 that would not advocate torture a prisoner under any circumstance even if it meant saving innocent lives. Obama has said so clearly as well. Liberal Lemmings in full display.....a part of me says that one of the close relatives of a Senator should be kidnapped and the FBI should have a prisoner in custody that can save the relative; what would they do then. We all know what Mike Dukakis would do...let his relative die.

Yes. Best scene EVER!

Speaking of which, I’m wondering how Jeanine Barfalo fits into the story line. Surely she must be a traitor or a mole.

Wasn’t that great? That was the very first thing that popped in my mind when I saw this article.

I wish more people would politely tell Senators to FOAD during hearings, especially oil execs. But I guess nobody wants a one way ticket to the Graybar Hotel.

Forget the Congressional Hearing scene. I liked it when he was going to remove the dudes eyeball with a pen. OOOOOOOOrah!!!!!

Sans lawyer to boot.

Bauer did what he had to do, took responsibility, then was willing to let the chips fall where they may.

No wonder libs hate the show.
