Wow -- this is some recap.

Thanks Jeff!

you're welcome!

Thanks for identifying the "Jefferson City, Iowa" error. There's definitely no "Jefferson City" in Iowa. Though Jefferson, Iowa does have a 168' bell tower...maybe there's a hidden nuclear silo underneath.

Excellent recap fellas! Now I'm not sure if the writers in 24 have a good sense of humour and just there for the laughs. 3 things stood out;

1) There was a delay getting info on this nuke as it was destined to be de-armed under the nuclear proliferation act. Anyone spot any propaganda here??? The Bush administration withdrew the United States from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, pressed forward with the deployment of a national missile defense system (a latter day version of "Star Wars"), dropped nuclear disarmament negotiations, and proposed the development of new U.S. nuclear weapons. All since 2000 - not too shabby.

2) hahhahaha - the whole Amnesty inter... I mean global thing - I wonder if the inmates at Guantanamo bay see 24 and are wondering where their lawyers are??

3) At the end of this show in Australia, a brief low down of what's to come is given. The (acting) American president is depicted as a danger to himself and country, a person who can't complete coherent sentences and makes bad decisions. Hello?? Where did they get the inspiration for this one??

Sorry about the all very political observations - I wonder if the writers really were taking the piss or believe what they write??

Jon,

Heh, yeah, I've wondered if a couple things here and there were politically motivated. But for the most part, the show doesn't try too hard to gore anybody's ox.
