Sutherland was on Charlie Rose last week and said that they try to keep the show "balanced" by having writers from both the right and the left,

I found it unbeleivable that the US would knowingly condemn one of it's most effective agents to death by turning him over to a criminal terrorist as blackmail ransom. Sorry, I just don't see that happening.

Then, I found it unbeleivable that the US would agree to the terms of this same terrorist after he had been proven a liar by releasing 100+ captured terrorists.

That lacked much credibility with me, but, if the screenplay were half done by liberals, it may make some sense.

Also, the President's sister needs to be medicated and turned loose on palm fronds aspiring to become baskets.

That lacked much credibility with me, but, if the screenplay were half done by liberals, it may make some sense...actually I've never watched the show, so can't judge how well "balanced" it is - but the fact that Sutherland said that his views "tended" to be leftist raised a red flag - since most lefties seem to believe that everyone else thinks the same way they do (except for deranged conservatives of course), any leftist who actually recognizes that he is one must be pretty far out on the fringe in reality - that Sutherland apparently manages to keep his views so well under control does make me have more respect for his acting ability though.......
