It Must be Jack's Fault

by Len Neighbors
02/14/2006

It is becoming a meme on the internet that Jack Bauer is currently the most successful argument for torturing suspects in the war on terror. Since it always works on 24, the huge teeming mass of unwashed Americans must think its a good idea as a matter of policy in the real world.

Hate to break it to folks who make their living speculating about the news, but people who get up in the morning and go to regular jobs don't have any trouble differentiating televised fantasy from reality. Leave them to their catharsis, already. They wish it worked like that, which is different from thinking it actually works that way.
