* CulturallyReligious: O'Neill is a lapsed Catholic but one of his girlfriends is devout and the weight of his sins is very heavy on his shoulders. He cares enough about it that rather than just divorce his wife (which could result in his excommunication), O'Neill pursues an annulment, but it doesn't work.

* CIAEvilFBIGood: Although not ''evil'' per se, the CIA is portrayed as either apathetic toward al-Qaeda or on the flipside, being too gung-ho, being cowboys that get lots of innocent people killed in reckless airstrikes on terrorist targets, and prevent the FBI from doing their jobs by refusing to share intelligence with them most times (despite them being obliged to). The FBI, on the other hand, is shown to be doing all they can to stop al-Qaeda despite this and Rahim angrily denounces them for this at the 9/11 Commission hearings.

!!Tropes in this series include:
* GeneralRipper: Schmidt believes the only way to stop al-Qaeda is indiscriminate missile strikes.
* InterserviceRivalry: The battle between the FBI and the CIA over information-sharing is the driving conflict of the entire show.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Martin Schmidt is a supreme asshole and consistently argues for military action based on sketchy intel, some of which has disastrous results. However, he is one of the few people in the CIA who treats al-Qaeda like the threat that it is.
* MyGreatestFailure: It's a massive failure for almost all the characters, but Richard Clarke is the only one who seems to explicitly regard it as such.
* PullTheThread: The Nairobi bomber claims to be a simple traveler, and that he has no ID because he lost all his travel belongings in the bombing. When Agent Chesney points out that his clothes are completely free of dust or dirt, the bomber claims that he cleaned the debris off of them. Not only is it not likely that he managed to get his clothes ''that'' clean, especially with the bloodstains he'd have had to remove, Chesney also catches that he wouldn't have laundered his also-spotless shoes and belt... the latter of which even still has the price tag on it.
* StunnedSilence: Clarke is dumbstruck when Condoleezza Rice says they're going to connect 9/11 to Saddam Hussein.
* YourCheatingHeart: John O'Neill has two girlfriends, neither of whom know about each other, and both of whom think he's divorced from his wife when he's only separated.
