You Don't Know Jack

Today is Monday, and tonight my favorite TV show is on.

Some people just don't get it - maybe that is the problem in this country.

Bad guys should get no special treatment.



Group Decries Jack Bauer's Use of Torture

NEW YORK - Demanding information, Jack Bauer faces a terrified man tied to a chair in front of him. Through a window over Bauer's shoulder, the man sees his two children bound and gagged.

Tell me where the bomb is, Bauer orders, or we'll kill your family. Silence. The prisoner watches as a thug kicks down the chair his son is tied to and fires a gun at point-blank range. He screams but still doesn't relent - until the gun is pointed at his second son. Having gotten what he needed, Bauer whispers that the execution was staged.

The scene from Fox's "24" is haunting, but hardly unusual. The advocacy group Human Rights First says there's been a startling increase in the number of torture scenes depicted on prime-time television in the post-2001 world.












Even more chilling, there are indications that real-life American interrogators in Iraq are taking cues from what they see on television, said Jill Savitt, the group's director of public programs.

And my question is, SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT? Television is, after all, an educational tool!!

The advocacy group Human Rights First won't be around when we are taken over by another country and forced to live under their rules.

Hello, do you get it???

Jack interrogates and kills good, deal with it!!

Jack Bauer power hour!!!!! Go Jack, do whatever it takes to extract information from the bad guys!!


Those are my Rants and Raves for today.
See you same time, same station tomorrow.
