Crossing Reality
On the April 18 episode of “Crossing Jordan” that aired last night, we see an instance where Homeland Security has arrested a major character (”Bug”) on the belief that he is actually someone else.
The bottom line for the episode is that Homeland Security is inept, stupid, arrogant, and never lets the facts get in the way of a good arrest. Then our character is harrased by Homeland Security agents, who threaten to throw him in Club Gitmo. Finally, because Bug won’t tell them what they want [or what they want to hear], they bring in something to the room, and the agent says “this is your last chance.”
We never see the torture take place, but it’s obviously implicated.
Now, out of fear of sounding like Danny Quale going after Murphy Brown, the more I thought about this episode, the more it cheesed me off.
Nevermind that Club Gitmo provides nothing but luxury for it’s residents, or that the Red Cross is actually *on site* to watch and make sure no torture takes place… and nevermind that everyone that has visited Gitmo – Dems and Republicans alike – has never found any instance of torture… nevermind the FACTS of reality… just as long as it insults logic and blames America, it’s ok.
Why is it that when West Wing did an episode about who al-Qaeda is, they got their facts straight, but when it comes to a domestic organization, the writers are clueless?
Liberal left-wing wackos in charge of Hollywood, displaying their failure to grasp the realities of the world surrounding us. Joy.

Could something like this happen to a native born American? I put myself in Bug’s place and the thought of no one listening to me at all made me feel very uneasy.
If that had been the story, then I’d agree. But what bothered me is that the story spent most of the hour displaying just how stupid those Homeland Security people are. They arrested Bug because they thought he was someone else.
Yet the other guys that rescued Bug did so by simply opening up a letter that he got, and just like that they knew that Bug’s idenity had been stolen. Just by opening a letter?
Those Homeland Security folks… they gotta be some kind of stupid, because they didn’t think about opening Bug’s mail. Or doing a background check on Bug. Or anything. They just arrested him.
