   Well, yeah, but think about it this way, the only thing they're showing us is the time around when CTU gets infiltrated. For instance, in the three years between Seasons 1 and 2, CTU wasn't infiltrated, because they didn't show it to us.

   That's why they've moved to New York for the upcoming season.

   Yeah, it's strange, I am watching old season 2 episodes and the current season 6 episodes. KieferBauer has pronounced nuclear properly (new-clear) two times so far in season 2. In the more recent episodes he says "nucular." Whatbeupwiddat?

   I think the powers that be at Fox (conservative, pro-Bush) ask Bauer to pronounce it nucular to say, "If Jack Bauer says 'nucular', then, hell, so can our president." Think about it...just...think about it.

   It's obvious that 24 has a strong propagandistic inclination, using TV drama to socialize the viewing public into accepting torture and blatantly extra-legal tactics as an essential ingredient of no-nonsense foreign policy, and generally violating the Constitution whenever needed ... whenever Jack Bauer feels like it. Jack Bauer's stupid mis-pronunciation of nuclear as nukular can only be seen as another tactic of the dumbing down of public intelligence to the level of non-President George Dumbya Bush. Bauer's ignorant mis-pronunciation helps provide propagandistic cover for an ignoramus Commander-in-Chief who has led the most corrupt, inept, and catastrophically unintelligent "presidency" in US history.

   Republicans thrive on degrading standards wherever they gain influence -- lowering standards for air and water pollution, toxic emissions, public well-being, forests, oceans, rivers, voting technology, corporate accountability, torture, civil rights ... whatEVER they touch, they degrade. 24 colludes in the degradation on a weekly basis.

   Season 6, episode 3.

   Known Terrorist: "Nuclear"

   Bauer immediately after: "Nucular"

   Funny how it's the terrorist who gets it right.
