Did '24' Go Too Far?

COLUMN SNIPPET: "When the ABCNews.com column assignment arrived mid-morning --"Is the TV show "24" going too far by depicting a nuclear attack in Los Angeles in its opening episode?"-- the drama went out of tonight's two-hour program. Or so I thought. As zero hour approached, I found myself assuming that the program really wouldn't actually depict a nuclear detonation near Los Angeles. I noted as the show unfolded that the script had the doomsday scenario putting the casualties of such an event at somewhere north of a hundred thousand, a remarkably low estimate, and that no mention was made of the catastrophic impact of radiation sickness or the second level but still devastating impact to surrounding infrastructure, the immediate refugee problem, or the collapse of the national economy. Given that the consequences of such a blast, I found myself doubting that the program would risk absurdity by depicting a post-nuclear attack America far more simple than anyone has a right to conceive.

But blow the nuke, the writers did, and apparently there are four more where that came from."

Hi folks, just dropping by to say hello. I am very busy with my two children at the moment (both under two!!) but dip into the thread here and there.

Some interesting things going on at the moment, not least of which this latest video from al-Zawahiri. Keep up the good work. :-)

Everyone is up in arms about the nuke episode, however, they forget that in the 1980's there was a TV drama regarding a group of white guys (can't remember their political bent) who made a plutonium device, smuggled it onto a WWII carrier in Charleston SC and had it go off. Done in a 'news report' format with lots of disclaimers to avoid a 'war of the worlds' response. I hope this does slap some sense into Americans regarding the stakes we are dealing with here.
