O.K., I missed something. Why did President Logan tell his aide to fire the bodyguard after he got out of the car? ---

If I was Jack, I would hate being ordered around by Chloe more than by the loss of Renee. ---

If I can question Dana Walsh… No! I won’t allow it! Can’t I just pull out one fingernail? One pinky nail? On her left hand? We know how Jack will vote in the next Presidential election. ---

## Taylor caved. Boo hiss. Dahlia Hassan would be super-pissed about the Russians signing treaties with her. Looks like Jack will have to go rogue and extract the info from Dana the old fashioned way. So what will it be? Bullet in the thigh? Scalpel to the eye? Cavity search with a baseball bat? ---

Yeah. I guess FOX figures we don’t need anymore seasons, when it is this predictable. ---

> [@Ronald\_C.Semone](#): > > O.K., I missed something. Why did President Logan tell his aide to fire the bodyguard after he got out of the car? Because he wasn’t properly deferential to Logan. I’m guessing he knows who Logan is and he knows about that whole treason thing, and isn’t very respectful of Logan, and it sort of came out in his cold manner towards the ex-pres. Logan picked up on it and was offended. Did you not see the body language/ expressions between the two of them when Logan was getting out the car? Ice. ---

So where’s he going to take the chopper? Dana’s still at CTU, right? He’ll still have to get back there if he wants to interrogate Dana his way. ---

Does it bug anyone else that there’s still a dead guy stuffed in the wall of some random CTU office? Won’t he start…_leaking_ or something? ---

My memory ain’t what it used to be, but as soon as Logan said something to Taylor about working for the “Greater Good” it rang a bell. I think he repeatedly used that term to justify the nasty things he did when he was President. Then when Taylor said to Jack that she had to continue with the peace process for the “Greater Good,” it was fairly chilling. _Jack, about 4 hours ago:_ “I don’t take orders from anybody except the President of the United States!!!” _Jack, now:_ (“Unless I don’t like those orders…”) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/24-season-8-episode-18-9-00am-10-00am/536692.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/24-season-8-episode-18-9-00am-10-00am/536692.md?page=3)
