Well, kid, y'know that they always issue disclaimers for everything -- ''these events are fictional, and the persons and players therein bear no relation to ...'' blah, blah, blah.

The disclaimer I used to love was Dragnet's: '...names have been changed to protect the innocent'. Might have had some validity, for that programme.

However, if I might quote Publius Scaevola, the Pontifex Maximus of Rome in (my dates are rusty, sorry) 70-80 BC, ''No man is innocent, and no powerful man is anything but guilty.''

Which sentiment, of course, describes Logan, and Mike, perfectly. Not to mention FatBoyBureaucratAndWouldBeTyrant.

Consider this: never mind poor decisions (Logan), WHO IS THE ONLY dramatis persona to have actually committed a security breach in this season's ''24'' to date?

Right first time, well done!
