2. Why the hell wasn't Jack smart enough to play the recording for Cloe to record at CTU while he was driving around L.A.?

Plot hole. Pure and simple.

No, not a plot hole at all. Within the context of 24-rules, the original digital recording was required for authentication (you will note references to digital signatures). Simply playing the recording over a phone connection would have been useless from an authentication perspective in the 24-universe.

Dang.

Still, it would have been something and maybe just enough to plant some seeds in people's minds.

But such was not to be in the "24-universe."
