why do you think there was a silent clock?? i mean it wasnt that dramatic when they took him and it wasnt very sad or anything.. i think it should have been a regular clock...

Should have been the regular clock. It was stupid.

I think it was just meant to be a quiet moment - we contemplate Jack's fate, and the children - what will happen to them? What will happen to the hoardes of people trying to get out of the country?
Rather than time marching on dadum, dadum, dadum...

Sorry, I was busy earlier so I couldn't expand my point further than "it was stupid".
I felt it should have been the normal clock because it was not a particularly poignant moment in the show.
We knew Jack would have to get back to the US as we'd heard about Season 7 long before Redemption was a twinkle in the writers eye. We knew he'd give himself up to get back, he had to.
The silent clock is usually eerie and it raises the hairs on my arms. But not this time.

It was poignant for me - I suppose it just boils down to personal taste.

Is it just me or have they really been abusing the silent clock recently
tony not getting one [although they might claim he (obviously) didn't need one] and then the one in redemption
*tsk tsk

And the final one at season 6? Maybe they've started using silent clocks to show the sadness at the end of a season

I think Evil has a point - it's only effective if it's used sparingly.
As for Tony not getting one - that was just a mistake.

But I think a happy mistake? As there was confusion and all kinds of craziness that may have brought back our Tony?
