Where is the source for the 2002 date. I ask because, absent more specific information, the season must take place in an presidential election year (either 2000 or 2004).

2002 is the only logical date for a number of reasons.

• One, Jack mentioned that he took Milosovic's right hand Victor Drazen out 2 years before Day I . . . and by 2004 Sloban Milosevic was already in custody himself.

• Two, in the 24: Declassified series, Operation Hell Gate takes place prior to 9/11, while Veto Power takes place post 9/11 and BOTH take place prior to Day I and after Operation Nightfall.
  • So logically, Day I could only take place in 2002, 2 years after 2000 (when Milosevic was in power) and just after 9/11 (because the Declassified series cover the "just before 9/11" and the "just after 9/11" time periods.)

• Three, the creators said this before (not sure where but just before the premeire of Day III), that in the 24-Universe, Presidential elections are about two years off.

So 2002, while not entirely accepted, is the only possible logical date.

It is also clear when one reads the Declassified series, President George W. Bush's presidency appears to be non-existant. During the 9/11 time period in the 24-Universe we instead have a President Harold Barnes, who as far as we know, served one term then lost to David Palmer when he ran for President in 2002. (Governor Hodges, the only other opponent mentioned in Day I ran against Palmer in the PRIMARIES, and thus did not run against Palmer in the General Election, making Barnes' existance cooperable)
