Thanks, guys...the story itself was standard fare but...I'm looking again at E.G.'s comments.

I honestly can't remember any show tackling terrorism, even with terrorists used as a mere plot device, like this in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. There HAD to be some, but I watched a lot of TV during that time and can't remember any such program. (I think I remember some shows with Patty Hearst/Symbionese Liberation Army style villains, so that's pretty close.)

And I darn sure can't remember any program up to today (especially up to today) that has passed judgment on terrorists like this one through Mr. Marshall's multiple outro comments.
