Cat: Well, the way I see it in real life, the way things are going with Putin, they ARE going back to the way things were in the 'good old days': Russia arming and training terrorists of ANY persuasion, as long as they were anti-West /anti-American. So, the Russians using jihadis as pawns to do their dirty work IS a very likely scenario. Given the current attitude of 'Hollywood' we are lucky that they aren't impplying (so far) that the head bad guys aren't Haliburton or some other 'evil-white-american-capitalists'.

Nothing against DB Woodside, who I like as an actor, but a former Chief of Staff (and that's all he's been in the political world of 24) becoming POTUS is as unlikely as anything Hollywood has ever dreamed up. Would it have killed them to go with someone who hasn't been on the show before? Or bring Ray Wise's VP from last season back as POTUS? Sloppy writing this season as well. Things better pick up over the next few hours. I think this season has been marred by “President Wayne Palmer”.
