I'm very conflicted about this show

First off, I haven't seen any of this show & I currently don't have a TV so I don't know if I ever WILL see this show, BUT....

I really don't know how to feel about "Threat Matrix".

On the one hand, it seems like blatant propaganda...depicting the "good" American gov't vs the "evil" Islamic terrorists. America is always right. They are always wrong. The ends justify the means no matter what it takes. End of story.

Bull@%.

Despite what the reviewer here says, life is NOT that simple. The U.S. gov't has done more than its share of either financing, creating, or otherwise inspiring terrorists:

Remember Osama Bin Laden? Did you know he was financed by the Reagan Administration to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan? Did you know he was ticked at us for stationing troops in Saudi Arabia to protect oil fields under the Bush I Administration? And if you buy Bush II's lies about Saddam Hussein to justify the recent war...well did you know that Bush II's Dad and Ronny Reagan armed and supported Saddam Hussein in the 80's because he was anti-Communist?

Is any of THAT going to be mentioned on this show?

Also, is this show going to deal w/ the Patriot Act and its invasions of our privacy and shredding of our civil rights? Is it going to depict anyone who disagrees with the Homeland Security Dept. as a whiny, anti-American, terrorist sympathizing, university Liberal? In other words, is it going to be right-wing Ann Coultier-type propaganda?

Or is it going to cop out, skip the politics, and try to wow the viewers with action and the "good guys" bagging terrorists? This may be a "new world" as the first reviewer says, but it's NOT the black and white kind that he (or G. W. Bush) would apparently like.

And what about those fun color-coded threat levels? Will the invasive, insipid, politically motivated actions of the REAL Homeland Security Dept. be depicted? Will mistakes be made?

On the other hand......

I too am disgusted by Hollywood's politically correct refusal to depict Arabs & Muslims as terrorists, especially in films like Sum of All fears where it's clearly WRITTEN that way. I too saw The Siege before 9/11 and believe it was very prophetic. Despite everything I've just said, I do happen to believe terrorism is a serious threat and must be dealt with, sometimes harshly. I simply don't see the Homeland Security Department as either being the right way to go about it or being worthy of praise. Not to mention it's own show.

I have to say I'm surprised this show isn't being distributed by Fox. But I've heard ABC is pretty conservative.
