Two things bother me about the same subplot at the end.
1. A Chinese man flees to a Chinese consulate after collaborating with a terrorist named Marwan. If masked men subsequently abduct the Chinese guy, then wouldn't the presumptive suspects be the U.S. government and Marwan himself? Why go out of your way to frame some random dissident group when it would make so much more sense for Marwan to have done it?
Cleverer David Palmer: "OH NO! We think he's in Marwan's hands now. Care to help us track him down?"
2. The Chinese wanted [the appearance of] justice, with Bauer tried and sentenced under their laws. How does a dead body fulfill their wishes, especially if the death is under mysterious circumstances (and the corpse in question isn't actually Bauer's)?
