If I recall correctly, this was the series that featured the following dialogue, spoken by a Fed to a minor character (I quote imperfectly from memory):
Under the terms of the Smith-Doe Act, you have been declared a terrorist. This means you have no rights in American law. Any means of interrogation up to and including torture can and will be used.
It’s scary that in less than thirty years something used to indicate a horrible dystopia can be become almost mainstream political thought.
