There was some talk show thing and the concept of "24" came to be even before 9/11!

I don't think it went too far.

I truly believe that this will be a reality in some American city before another 10 years passes.

"Would the BBC have been going "too far" if in 1937 it had broadcast a radio drama depicting life in a Hitler-authorized death camp where hundreds of thousands of Jews were being executed in gas chambers, one of a string of such camps springing up across Europe?"

There were many movies out during WWII killing nazis and germans. Hollywood glorified it.

They only went too far for the morons that think everything is "Sunshine and lolli-pops"...

I think it would take something like this to get people to finally pull their heads out of their butts and figure out "hey there are people that really hate the USA"...

Not far enough. There has been a traitorous US soldier and overly helpful Muzzies in the show. I'm still expecting a Halliburton clone company to be the villain...Again.

They didn't go too far, but all this media attention can only be good for 24:)

For Liberals, Muslsims and other death-loving extremists, the answer is "YES" since it upsets them so.

For people who relish Life & Freedom, the answer is quite succinctly, "NO WAY".

I felt like 24 went to far when they did those ridiculous disclaimers before the show a couple of seasons ago with Keifer S and his little PSA that just because some of the characters were muslim terrorists we should keep in mind that there are lots of nice peaceful muslims.
