Jack Bauer and moral philosophy

I love, and am completely hooked on, the tv-show, "24."  I would pay a substantial sum of money to somehow have the first five seasons erased from my mind, thereby making it possible for me to start over and enjoy them, like new, again.  So, I was curious about this op-ed, by Brian Carney, in the Wall Street Journal, about the "moral philosophy" of Jack Bauer.

Carney is impressed by the fact that, on "24", "tragic choices" abound, and are rarely presented as simple, or as having easy answers.  (This is not to say that the show proclaims there aren't right answers, just that it is rarely clear, ex ante, what they are.)

Fair enough.  That said, I would have liked for Carney to at least that at least some of the things Bauer has done -- with admirably other-regarding motives, of course -- are, well, evil.  Aren't they?
