I don't see how supporting the use of suicide bombers by "the good guys" is "turning it around" and raking conservatives over the coals or even "supporting liberals".

It is SUPPORTING terrorist bombings, at least in principle.

Put yourself in 1933 Germany, should Jews have gone on suicide bombing missions against marketplace families? Still would've been wrong. Okay, how about suicide bombers taking out Hitler and his buddies at the Olympics? Wait, there have been murders at the Olympics and WWI started with an assassination.

So what is the "good" case for a suicide bombing? Surrendering to the enemy troops and then detonating? I believe we've seen this too. We certainly have to check for it.

I pretty much agree. But I don't think the producers are actually supporting anything....I think they are exploring lots of things from different angles. Which is what real Science Fiction is actually for. The questions you ask indicate that they have done their job.
