As eyespy and I discussed this morning, what we learned from watching 24 Sunday night and last night is that if your neighbors go to beat the crap out of a Muslim neighbor, let them. That Muslim neighbor might just be a terrorist.

That's not what you learn. The family was right to intervene at that point. What you learned is that if that same person turns out to be a terrorist, you cannot give in to their demands, no matter what the cost.

Tell that to all the families who lost loved ones when that suitcase bomb went off in LA! Well, you know, all the TV families who lost TV loved ones.

What I learned is this:

When a terrorist pulls a gun on you and your family and demands you deliver a package, you do what he says. Climb in your car and drive off.

Then park it at the end of the block, get your .38 out of the trunk, walk back and blow his head off. It's not a sin to lie to a terrorist, to paraphrase TROP.
