There's this scene in 24 a couple of weeks back that I don't know if it's intended to be high irony or just utterly insulting.

Jack tortures this woman in her hospital bed in order to extract information. He then contritely apologizes to his partner. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I just hate these people... they think they can justify these horrible things they're doing." When, in fact, it's Jack who's justifying the horrible things he's doing. See? Irony? Or are the writers just blind to their own cognitive dissonance?
