Sadly we'll never know the full breadth and depth of the main plot of Jericho and how it was to unfold, but I'd wager that a lot of the "deployment" phase pre-strike was due to the fact that the manager of FEMA was in cahoots with the various groups setting the nukes off. Two were stopped; the one headed for Columbus because it was in Lennie James' hands, and the one destined for Manhattan was stopped because of post 9/11 preparedness.

I was never really a fan but I am aware that there is a graphic novel for season 3 written by the original writers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho...n_3:_Civil_War WARNING LINK contains spoilers

Amazon Links
http://www.amazon.com/Jericho-Season.../dp/160010939X
http://www.amazon.com/Jericho-Season.../dp/1613776047


Apparently in issue 4 of the the season 3 comics we get

"a full account of the motives, methods, and betrayals that resulted in the destruction of twenty-three American cities"


Edit added spoiler warning and links to amazon. Aparently there is a season "4" as well.

Which makes me giggle. FEMA's power to detect and interdict nukes is about the same as its ability to impose martial law and erect concentration camps for conservatives.

FEMA is getting slightly smarter, when Katrina victims refused the Humanitarian meals, they dumped the lot for dehydrated meals. Of course Nukes have a higher learning curve......

I'm not saying FEMA has the dumb. I work with some very smart guys out of Region IV. I'm just saying that nuke interdiction is not in their mission space. All the "shadow government" woo-woo from the nineties has disseminated a lot of misinformation about what the agency really does.

People forgot it is an update to Civil Defense with disaster relief added to it's mission statement. And possibly cursed by Carter's "Gold to Lead" Midas touch.
