24......Seriously! Get a grip!
Let me summarize last night's episode of 24...Jack Bauer wanted to torture an 11-month old.
Reread that. 11-MONTH old. Thankfully for everyone's soul involved, he didn't go through with it.
And that was not to prevent a nuclear bomb, an airplane crash or anything involving thousands of people. That was to save the president's husband. Let it be said that there is no excuse too flimsy for Jack to think it justified to torture some. At least the writers thought that Jack torturing a newborn in an incubator to save the White House silverware would have been a bit too far. We'll have to wait till season 8 or possibly sweeps for that one.
The writers of this show must be really pissed about Obama's victory. This season has been filled with even more torture and sneering at hippie types. You know, like the "justice department" who want to "help the terrorists" by "following the laws." The lessons I've learned this season so far are: Torture totally works. It's really fast and really effective. The information is always credible. There is no good moral argument against it. People who are not willing to torture as their first option don't care about the country or at least are missing the big picture. It's ok to torture because our enemies are doing it and they are bad people. Don't think too much about the last one because it would mean that if people who torture are evil, and we torture then it mean that we are !#! (cognitive dissonance enabled) perfectly within our rights to do whatever the hell we want to our enemies.
In tonight's episode when the FBI director said "Following the rules is what makes us better" to which Jack responded, "Not today." He might as well have said "Fuck you, pussy."
Alright I'm gonna go torture me up some food.
