| Bauer, Bush Come Under Fire From HRW |
| 2005-04-13 |
| Leading terrorist rights organization Human Rights Watch has unleashed a barrage of criticism on Jack Bauer of the government's Counter Terror Unit(CTU. Bauer's aggressive, often violent approach with regards to alleged terrorists has recently drawn the ire of this impartial organization. "What is happening here is absolutely unbelievable," stated an HRW spokesman. "This man has, among other things: shot an alleged "terrorist" in the leg, used a lamp chord to extract information from an innocent businessman and pushed a naturalized U.S. citizen against a wall. Furthermore, we can prove that he and CTU have not provided culturally sensitive meals to Islamic prisoners on at least three occasions. To top it all off, these episodes of torture are filmed and played each week on the cable channel Fox! This is just one more example of the hubris of this administration and of their seamless ties with Fox." Many in the Democratic Party have decried what they call an "unholy alliance" between the Bush administration and Fox for quite some time. These accusations came to a head in the months preceding the 2004 election when Fox ran a 3-part series entitled "When Democrats Attack!" When approached for comment a visibly agitated Jack Bauer insisted, "My name is not Jack Bauer! My name is Kiefer Sutherland! I am an actor! Are you people nuts?!? It's a friggin' tv show!!!!" TNOYF's counter terror experts tell us that Bauer's identity confusion is "consistent with the behavior of other agents who have been in the field for an extended period of time." |
