Drug users and dealers on TV shows are mostly white, too. Racial profiling isn't used to spot terrorists, and with the exception of Jack Bauer, the government doesn't use harsh interrogation techniques or torture suspects.

If you're curious about what the War on Terror looks like on top-rated TV dramas, check out this truly cool video that we (the Norman Lear Center at USC Annenberg) just released. It's based on our new report, The Primetime War on Drugs & Terror, which is at www.primetimeterror.com.
