Anyone watch E-Ring?
 
i've sorta been watching this series this season and come up with one conclusion:

It seems to me that a whole lot of time is wasted trying to get things approved by so many people, including lawyers.

Is this really how things happen? I would hope that if a high value target(told you I 've been watching) comes within an SF team that they could act w\o having to confer with too many people, possible blowing the opportunity.

I realize it's a TV show, but man that ladder they gotta climb to act sure seems high and slippery.

Would you want it to be easier?

Never heard of it.

I'm looking forward to Kieffer Southerland laying waste to folks on the next "24" series.

Yes. Like I said, if true, it seems that you have to go thru toomany hoops to get things done. Time is of the essence.

Frankly, before we send special ops troops into harms way, potentially risking lives and foreign relations with other nations, I would prefer all the "t" be crossed and the "i" dotted.

On another note, I read recently that the CIA does not provide legal counsel whenever one of its operatives gets charged in the U.S. with criminal conduct, when that conduct was ordered by "the Company." They counsel employees to get a special form of insurance which covers part of the legal bills that they have to pay out of pocket.

E-Ring is about the only show I watch on TV anymore.

E-Ring has been a surprisingly good show in an ocean of crap on T.V. While I do believe that there are plenty of checks and balances in place, the show is still a Hollywierd production, and this should be taken into account when comparing entertainment to reality. The feds can move pretty quickly when they need to.
