In the American President, when Michael Douglas is meeting with members of his cabinet about a potential military strike in a middle-eastern country, the meeting is taking place late at night in D.C. In assessing how and when to strike, he inquires what time it is at the target. The military experts respond that it is the middle of the night, so there would just be 3rd shift maintenance in the building- minimal civilian casualties. Obviously, if it was late night in Washington, D.C., it could not be the middle of the night anywhere in the middle east.
