"Sleeper Cell" --which premiered on Sunday and continues over the next two weeks--explosively takes the threat of terror from overseas and plants it right in our backyard, among our neighbors, co-workers, and friends.
Though future episodes promise to expose the radical "Islam" of sleeper cells as something not Islamic at all, it was frustratingly hard to get that from the premiere, which spent so much time fleshing out a sleeper cell's terrifying mindset that true Islam was given the cold shoulder.

 Role of possible Al Qaeda 'sleeper cell' probed in train blasts - The Boston Globe
MADRID -- Spanish and US counterterrorism officials said yesterday that investigators were zeroing in on what they fear is an Al Qaeda "sleeper cell" -- or possibly a freelance faction inspired by Al Qaeda -- that they believe was behind the train bombings that killed 200 people Thursday.
One of the three Moroccan immigrants arrested in the bombing case is named in a sweeping indictment of more than 35 alleged Al Qaeda operatives, including Osama bin Laden, which was handed down by Judge Baltasar Garzon of Spain.
US counterterrorism officials in Washington said they suspect the cell could be part of a wider, diffuse network of "freelance terrorists" that has mounted similar attacks in several countries in recent years in the name of, if not under the direction of, bin Laden.
