N.C.I.S. Panders

Well, this is a sad day for me... really. I liked that show a lot. I was watching last night 01/15/08 and the story was about the murder of a muslim Marine. It was so bad that at some points I had to wonder whether they created this weak storyline just to pad the spaces around their anti-America spewing. The most egregious of all was an exchange between Gibbs (Mark Harmond) and the father of the muslim Marine whose name escapes me.

The shows writers made it a monologue against "western interference" in the middle east. They had Harmond's character stay silent while the muslim character lamented about how "the people of that region just want to live in peace and would if the west would just leave them alone", boo frickity-hoo!! That was only the worst part, there were many more less offensive, but still annoying slams on America and the Iraq war. I love this show normally, but I give this episode an F-
