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.
Huh? Are you saying no Arab American can be a patriot? I was pleased with their depiction of the "CAIR" clone guy ratting out his fellow Muslims in detention. It is a great role model for Muslim viewers.
The depiction of a military corrections grunt who is a turncoat is also very feasible. This is what makes "24" a cut above. On pedestrian shows such as "Alias" everyone acts according to form. Life is not so simple.
"McClennan Forrester" (Season 4) was not "the villain". They were impeding CTU to cover their own ass, not to help the terrorists.
