He would be an emasculated bureaucratic pussy unable to work 24 hours straight because he would have to tend to his daughter under domestic rights law! Thats why '24' is fiction!

LOL, yes he'd shoot. And if jack Bauer had been the cia in the movie last night, he would have pretended his phone connection wasn't too good and would have given the order to take out Osama despite his orders from Washington.

I have a good idea what Jack Bauer would do. First of all the little punk would never get close to anything dangerious.
Are you so messed up that your mixing fiction with the real world. That cute agent who's name was leaked has more balls then Jack Bauer.

Insure CIA Agents Against A Reckless Administration
September 14, 2006; Page A21

Your Sept. 12 editorial "Jack Bauer Insurance1" was a disservice not to me or to fictional characters like Jack Bauer, but to the very real CIA agents whose commitment to the truth didn't fit the administration's neoconservative agenda on Iraq, and to agents endangered by reckless administration policies.

It's been reported that CIA officers refused to be trained in the administration's controversial interrogation techniques, and in at least one instance these techniques yielded questionable information aimed at pleasing the interrogators. The Supreme Court, not Democrats, ruled administration detainee policies out of bounds, and it was the outrage of Republican senators that forced the administration to apply the Geneva Convention to enemy prisoners in order to best protect captured Americans.

Iraq has been an endless abuse of the CIA. CIA operative Tyler Drumheller said top White House officials simply brushed off the warning that "reliable intelligence" suggested Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, saying they were "no longer interested" in intelligence. Former CIA operative Paul Pillar wrote that "intelligence was misused publicly to justify decisions already made."

Former CIA case officer Jim Marcinkowski argued the Valerie Plame leak hurt "the credibility of our case officers when they try to convince an overseas contact that their safety is of primary importance." Former CIA agent Larry Johnson, a registered Republican, said it "speaks volumes" that President Bush held no one accountable for the leak of an agent's identity. Forgotten is President George H.W. Bush's admonition that those who expose our agents are "the most insidious of traitors." CIA officers don't need Jack Bauer insurance -- they need insurance against the recklessness of this administration.

Thank God this man is not in charge.
