"24" Truisms

I'm almost done with Season 4 of "24" and have started a short list of "24" truisms:

• Truism #1. If you are a bad guy with information Jack Bauer needs. It is a truism that you will talk. The only question is how much pain you'll suffer before you give Jack the information he needs.
• Truism #2. If you are Jack's back-up on a field assignment, it's a truism that you're as good as dead. No one has a shorter life expectancy than the guy standing next to Jack Bauer.
• Truism #3. If you are a bad guy and CTU finds out your location and surrounds it, it is a truism that you're going to escape. I can't recall a single instance where CTU set up a perimeter to prevent a bad guy's escape and they caught the bad guy -- instead, the bad guy slips through each time. There's nothing as porous as a CTU perimeter!
  
• Trusim #4. If you are the head of CTU Los Angeles at the beginning of a season, it is a truism that you won't be by the end of the season.
