Default Inaugural Doomsday?
A Fox TV show and a new book — fiction and fact, respectively — are sounding a chilling wake-up call. Is Washington listening?

INAUGURAL DOOMSDAY?
Quote:
By Cal Thomas

Probably more vigilance and money are being devoted to protecting Thursday's inauguration of President Bush from terrorists than have been dedicated to any public event on U.S. soil in history.

But what if it isn't enough? Suppose — G-d forbid — an Islamic terror cell buried deep within this country for years has been given the code it has been waiting for to conduct the most public assassination of American public officials.

No one will be able to claim we weren't warned, or defend against the charge that we deluded ourselves with political correctness, inattention and bureaucratic rivalries.

The Fox broadcast network is carrying a remarkable series called "24," which brilliantly and persuasively warns America about a secret terrorist family that has been embedded in this country for years. The family blends into a quiet neighborhood until the call to action is sounded and the secretary of defense is kidnapped and threatened with beheading.

Just how effective this fictitious show could be in awakening docile Americans to reality is evident from the reaction by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which asked Fox to send public relations spots to stations carrying the show. The spots say that all Muslims are not terrorists. All Muslims don't have to be terrorists. The ones who are and who are among us are sufficient to bring more death and damage to this country.

Well, if we stop traditional functions and every day life because something 'may' happen, then the terrorists win.

Very true, but what I think this series is about is not taking the proper precautions. I've got to see this one. It reminds me of the Communists 'moles.'

Jason and I watched it religiously last season. Unfortunatley, it is on the same time as the Bachelorette The show is absolutley genius, but I can see concern of giving terrorists ideas. It's a great show though, one that you sit with white knuckles and get pi$$y when it's over
