24 Day 6 — 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Viewer discretion! Last time, that meant GreyJack would take a bite out of crime! This time, let’s hope it doesn’t mean Audrey is back. A nuclear explosion is more palatable for viewer discretion.
Previously on 24–
8 a.m.: GreyJack the werewolf and Assad are following bin Diesel’s man. Casualty reports are coming in to CTU and the White House. It’s bad bad bad, because they didn’t listen to Jack, who is always right.
Bin Diesel calls Palmer to negotiate some more, and SarahK has an opinion about negotiating with terrorists. Palmer says, Ok, what do you want? I’m all ears. And chrome dome, yo. BD says he wants the US to release some enemy combatants (um… TERRORIST DIRTBAGS) and then quotes the ACLU, Amnesty International, and Reuters, eventually calling the dirtbags “freedom fighters.” They’re French? Bathe them immediately, they’ll talk! BD wants them in the air in international airspace within the hour. Oh, and he will only make this “offer” once. They hang up, and everyone (Bill, Karen, Bisquick) is against it except Wayne, who thinks it will buy them more time to find bin Diesel. Okie dokey. S-L-O-W.

Frank Fisking: Let’s Shut Down Gitmo! Yay!
Got an e-mail from Democrats.com (not associated with the DNC). Since it wasn’t their usual “Let’s have Bush impeachment BBQs!” e-mail, I thought I’d give it a read:
Dear Frank,
That’s me!
For the past five years, the United States has held hundreds of men from over 45 countries in Guantanamo Bay. Not a single person has been convicted of a crime, and three men died of apparent suicides.
Apparent suicides? You mean the suicides that were done for propaganda reasons… such as causing whiny e-mails like this to be sent out? Good terrorist stooge! You get a cookie!
But, if you think this war is bad with the hundreds of people being detained without a conviction, you should have heard of that one back in the forties where America killed hundreds of thousands of people without a single trial!
Today marks five years since the US first transferred men to indefinite and arbitrary detention. Five years of lawlessness is enough — let’s join with Amnesty International USA to demand that the detention facilities at Guantanamo be closed.
And when they’re closed, where will everyone go? Your house so they can sign a petition to impeach Bush?
Bob Fertik
Your name is gay.
What follows is a letter from Amnesty International USA (kinda an oxymoron). So I got a letter within a letter which is a super bonus and very exciting.
THE AMERICA I BELIEVE IN LEADS THE WORLD ON HUMAN RIGHTS
The dragons I believe in can change shape at will.

I’d Call My Terrorist Organization “Hellbender”
Does anybody else think it’s idiotic to name your terrorist organization “Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades”? By saying that you’re a “brigade” that usually gets “martyred,” aren’t you just saying that your group tends to get slaughtered in battle? I mean, isn’t “martyr” really just an Arabic word for “crappy fighter”?
These people need to listen to the Patton speech about martyring the other poor dumb bastard.
