24 "Day 8: 4:00 PM-6:00 PM"

I've said this before and I will say it again. Why is it that every CTU director thinks he knows more than Jack Bauer? How many situations has Jack Bauer been in where he's either saved the President or the United States from some threat that everyone else thought wasn't important, insignificant or just flat out wrong? It boggles my mind that the powers that be on this series don't figure out a better way for Jack to get involved. Maybe recruiting him because of something they can't handle, but just flat out not believing him is getting stale so quickly.

I liked the President last season. She made hard but smart decisions. This time around she's being stupid and at a very expensive risk. I know there's no bio chemical ready to be exposed on American soil, but this is just as important. When you are dealing with honesty, you have to be honest. And holding something so important back isn't being honest.

Why is it that CTU hasn't figured out a way to vet their employees well enough not to have major? There's always someone inside who has a wacky background or is part of the plot against the establishment.

Don't get me wrong, I love this show more than I could even tell you, but I hate it when shows treat the viewing public as if we are too dumb to get it and they have to fall back on the same little tricks to get us involved every season. Especially on a show like this.
