Enjoyed that episode. I'm suprised that the hit squad didn't do a bullet to the head of the downed guys though. Kill confirmed and all that...
That's against the Geneva convention.

He should have had his wife take their daughter to the police, he knew he was being watched, that was stupid.
First thing you want to do when taking your kid into the police is take the biggest tool you have with you, a cop, a government official, etc, etc.
Whole thing is somewhat stupid at the moment, your kid is unhappy for a bit, so what. You could have sympathy for him before, he broke, everyone does, the CIA broke him again, fine, but he's acting as if nothing happened and its an unfair burden and writing wise I think that is weak as ****.
He was a god damned terrorist, the only reason he's alive was he didn't want to lie to his kid and because Carrie had his kid call him when he was supposed to be, you know, murdering a bunch of people. he agreed to work as a double agent purely to save his kids/wife from knowing what he'd done.
Boo hoo, she's a little unhappy that this little **** gets away with killing someone, its not her fault he ran someone over, and he should be punished. Why would Brody overall care about this at all, kid upset, the flipside is, kid is known forever as a terrorists kid, the biggest traitor the country may have ever known.... she will never, ever have even a marginally normal life after that. Being a little upset a rich boy gets away with a murder is tiny, almost nothing compared to that.
I don't think he does see it as wrong, at the time he thought working with the other guys was right and didn't see them as terrorists or himself. After "breaking" again after they found the video, he's gone the other way, realised that while he was being tortured and basically brainwashed he thought they were right. But the fact he's targetting innocent people is completely against what Brody believes, which pretty much moves him back to the other side of the fence. Essentially at this point his running mate has sanctioned and lied about missions killing innocents, and the terrorist kills innocents and lies about it, they are basically the same in his eyes and he's just realised they are both squarely against everything he believes in. So taking down the terrorist should be something he wants to do at this point.
There are two things now, he doesn't agree with the terrorists at all anymore, and has the chance to take them down, and he's also terrified of being found out by everyone else and his family. Both things take massive prescedence over daughter wanting to report a crime.
At this point he's working to stay out of a cell for the rest of his life, or more likely get the death penalty, but he's acting almost like he's done nothing and should be completely left alone... thats the part that is not making sense.
Lastly the stupid thing here is, the money man wants to support Brody and doesn't like the other guy at all. Second, while it will destroy his chance to run with the current guy, standing up for whats right rather than hiding a crime for his kid will be seen publically, and by the money guy as the right thing. It will strengthen his political position not weaken it and ultimately that works for him and the position he's in.
Reporting the crime would make him seem like a man of the people, not some rich a-hole whose kid gets away with murder, and he's still a politician even if he isn't running for another job. That is also bad writing, the terrorists HATE this guy he's running with and they could basically stop any chance of him becoming president while helping Brody look better......
