1. Good evening. I'm Martin Sheen, and
I'm with the cast of The West Wing.Copy !req
2. For those who tuned in
to see our season premiere...Copy !req
3. I'm afraid you won't.
That'll be next week.Copy !req
4. We're eager to get back
to our continuing story lines...Copy !req
5. but we wanted to stop for a moment
and do something different.Copy !req
6. You'll notice a few things
different about this show.Copy !req
7. For instance, in place
of our usual main title sequence...Copy !req
8. we'll be putting phone numbers up
where you can pledge donations...Copy !req
9. to groups that help
with victims' assistance.Copy !req
10. By now, nobody needs to be convinced
when they named New York's Finest...Copy !req
11. and New York's Bravest, they
knew what they were talking about.Copy !req
12. So we're pleased to tell you
that the profits from tonight's episode...Copy !req
13. will be donated to the New York
Firefighters' 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund...Copy !req
14. and the New York Police & Fire
Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund.Copy !req
15. A helping hand,
from our family to theirs.Copy !req
16. Now, don't panic.
We're in show business...Copy !req
17. and we'll get back
to tending our egos in short order.Copy !req
18. But tonight we offer a play.
It's called Isaac and Ishmael.Copy !req
19. Don't spend a lot of time trying to
figure out where this episode comes in...Copy !req
20. in the timeline of the series.
It doesn't.Copy !req
21. It's a storytelling aberration,
if you'll allow.Copy !req
22. Next week, we start our third season.
You'll see stories...Copy !req
23. about a reelection campaign,
an MS disclosure, an embassy in Haiti.Copy !req
24. - Repealing the estate tax.
- A fight against tobacco.Copy !req
25. - A fight to get our friends back.
- Funding the NEA.Copy !req
26. - A veto override.
- A marriage in trouble.Copy !req
27. And I get a boyfriend.Copy !req
28. That's all for us.
Thank you for listening.Copy !req
29. Joan, run a search in the Nick.Copy !req
30. Yaarun Nabi. Y-A-A-R-U-N N-A-B-I.Copy !req
31. - Yaarun Nabi is a Persian name.
- Yeah?Copy !req
32. It means'friend of the prophet."Copy !req
33. - Getting anything?
- Four a.k.a. 's.Copy !req
34. Yaquin Kashani, Raqim Ali,
Yamin Bandari, Yawar Aryanpur.Copy !req
35. Run them.Copy !req
36. I wonder if they all mean
"friend of the prophet"?Copy !req
37. I guess that would be silly.
Or at least remarkably coincidental.Copy !req
38. That the aliases would mean
the same thing as the actual name.Copy !req
39. I mean, you gotta ask,
what good would an alias be if it...?Copy !req
40. Greg?Copy !req
41. Get me the Secret Service Joint
Operations Center at the White House.Copy !req
42. Donna?Copy !req
43. - Yeah?
- I'm going home.Copy !req
44. - It's only 5.
- Yeah. I'm heading home.Copy !req
45. You can't go yet.
You have to talk to the students.Copy !req
46. - What students?
- From Presidential Classroom.Copy !req
47. - What are you talking about?
- High school kids who were accepted... .Copy !req
48. They come to Washington
for four days.Copy !req
49. They get to meet with interesting
people, and you're one.Copy !req
50. - When did this get on my schedule?
- It's been there.Copy !req
51. No, it hasn't. It just...Copy !req
52. - There isn't anybody else?
- It's supposed to be you.Copy !req
53. - I have to work.
- Work in the office.Copy !req
54. I can't work in the office. We've
crashed five times in three weeks.Copy !req
55. When I'm not being evacuated,
I'm not being allowed to leave.Copy !req
56. And now the one... .
God, Donna, I wanna go home.Copy !req
57. Josh, it's been on your schedule.Copy !req
58. I'll give them a few minutes,
but then I gotta go, okay?Copy !req
59. - Yeah.
- When am I supposed to do this?Copy !req
60. - Now.
- Where are they?Copy !req
61. They're right in the northwest lobby.Copy !req
62. Good evening. Good to see you. You're
the group from Presidential something?Copy !req
63. - Classroom.
- Classroom?Copy !req
64. - Supervisor, Marjorie Mann.
- Josh Lyman.Copy !req
65. - Thank you for taking the time.
- So how'd you all get here?Copy !req
66. - Bus.
- I meant...Copy !req
67. They qualify with essays,
recommendations...Copy !req
68. grades in history and government.
It's very competitive.Copy !req
69. All right. I'm Josh Lyman. I'm the
deputy White House chief of staff.Copy !req
70. I joined the Bartlet campaign
shortly before the lowa Caucus...Copy !req
71. and served
as the campaign's political director.Copy !req
72. Before that I worked for
then-Senator John Hoynes for a while...Copy !req
73. - Josh?
- Yeah?Copy !req
74. - Station one. Code black. Crash.
- All right. Something's about to happen.Copy !req
75. Don't let it frighten you.
They'll seal the building.Copy !req
76. - Stay where you are, please.
- Everybody, please stay where you are.Copy !req
77. Mr. Lyman, are these kids with you?Copy !req
78. Yeah, I guess they are.Copy !req
79. Something's happened.Copy !req
80. Right in here.
Just grab a seat anywhere.Copy !req
81. Right in here. This is the mess.
This is where we eat lunch.Copy !req
82. We'll just wait here.Copy !req
83. - What's going on?
- How should I know.Copy !req
84. Would you call Leo's office
and find out what's going on.Copy !req
85. - More important, how long?
- They're probably scared.Copy !req
86. - You might try lightening up a little bit.
- Yeah, I'll definitely give that a try.Copy !req
87. Okay. Well, this is called a crash.Copy !req
88. It means there's been some kind
of security breach...Copy !req
89. and no one's allowed
in or out of the building.Copy !req
90. Would you call Leo's office?Copy !req
91. So I guess we should use this time.Copy !req
92. This is the White House, the home
of the president and executive branch...Copy !req
93. the most powerful of the three
branches of the federal government.Copy !req
94. - Yeah.
- Actually, Mr. Lyman...Copy !req
95. didn't the framers make sure
that the executive branch...Copy !req
96. was the weakest of the branches?Copy !req
97. We were breaking off
from the royalist model...Copy !req
98. that put absolute power
in just one place.Copy !req
99. Isn't that why they made the legislative,
or people's branch, the most powerful?Copy !req
100. - What's your name?
- I'm Billy Fernandez.Copy !req
101. I'll call you Fred. A little knowledge
can be a dangerous thing.Copy !req
102. I don't know how long we're gonna
be here, but you just made my list.Copy !req
103. Yes, I suppose technically,
constitutionally...Copy !req
104. the legislative branch is the most
powerful, but we get a motorcade.Copy !req
105. So back off.Copy !req
106. You already know about the branches
of government. I assume...Copy !req
107. you know how a bill becomes a law.Copy !req
108. What do you want to talk about?Copy !req
109. Guys, seriously,
it's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
110. We've been having these crashes once
a week. Somebody ask me something.Copy !req
111. So, what's the deal
with everybody trying to kill you?Copy !req
112. Well, it's not everybody,
and they're trying to kill you too.Copy !req
113. - But mostly you.
- No. Both of us the same.Copy !req
114. Let's go. It doesn't have
to be about politics.Copy !req
115. You're off to college. I'm the guy
who knows what you need to know.Copy !req
116. Sophomore year, my roommates and
I got a fish registered for 18 credits...Copy !req
117. and she made dean's list.Copy !req
118. We made a dean's list of a different sort,
but that doesn't matter.Copy !req
119. - Do you get scared coming to work?
- No.Copy !req
120. I mean, we're bystanders, basically...Copy !req
121. and we work around people who
routinely put themselves in harm's way.Copy !req
122. The Secret Service and the military.
You know, on the protection detail...Copy !req
123. they practice 1000 different scenarios
for a gun.Copy !req
124. Who tackles the president,
opens the car, covers the perimeter.Copy !req
125. There's one guy whose job it is
to stand in front of the bullet.Copy !req
126. Not get the shooter, stand in front
of the bullet. I've seen them do it.Copy !req
127. - Do you ever think about quitting?
- No.Copy !req
128. Well, my mother wants me to.Copy !req
129. My family members have a habit
of dying before you're supposed to.Copy !req
130. So it's just me and my mom now.Copy !req
131. You guys know, I guess,
that I got accidentally...Copy !req
132. shot a little bit or something
in Roslyn.Copy !req
133. So she'd like to see me
in the private sector. But I tell her...Copy !req
134. my government salary may not
be a lot, but I still make more...Copy !req
135. than the guy whose job it is
to stand in front of the bullet.Copy !req
136. So how do I tell him I'll quit?Copy !req
137. So she made me this box...Copy !req
138. that I'm supposed to keep
in the trunk of my car, and it's got...Copy !req
139. a super-powered flashlight,
five gallons of water...Copy !req
140. and a transistor radio
and some first aid.Copy !req
141. But she keeps thinking
of things to add to it.Copy !req
142. She'll call and say,
"I found that cap...Copy !req
143. that Dad got Joe Pepitone
to sign for you on your birthday.Copy !req
144. You wore it every day in seventh grade.
Should I send it, so you can put it in?"Copy !req
145. So I'll say,"Yeah, Ma,
let's put it in the box."Copy !req
146. So anyway, I don't know against who.
I don't know what it's gonna look like...Copy !req
147. but one of these days we're gonna
have a big win. And for a lot of us...Copy !req
148. who've seen what we've seen,
we're not leaving till we do.Copy !req
149. I'm gonna be here six presidents
from now in my office...Copy !req
150. Wile E. Coyote and a map.Copy !req
151. - So why is everybody trying to kill us?
- It's not everybody.Copy !req
152. - It seems like everybody.
- It's just the Arabs.Copy !req
153. Saying'the Arabs" is too general.Copy !req
154. - It's Islamics.
- It's not Arabs. It's not Islamics.Copy !req
155. - They're juniors and seniors?
- Yes.Copy !req
156. You're juniors and seniors. In honor
of the SATs you're about to take...Copy !req
157. answer the following question.
Thanks.Copy !req
158. Islamic extremist is to Islamic,
as blank is to Christianity.Copy !req
159. Islamic...Copy !req
160. extremist...Copy !req
161. is to...Copy !req
162. Islamic...Copy !req
163. as blank is to Christianity.Copy !req
164. - Christian fundamentalists.
- No.Copy !req
165. - Jehovah's Witnesses?
- No. Guys...Copy !req
166. the Christian right
may not be your cup of tea...Copy !req
167. but they're not blowing stuff up.
Islamic extremist is to Islamic...Copy !req
168. as blank is to Christianity.Copy !req
169. That's what we're talking about.Copy !req
170. It's the Klan gone medieval and global.Copy !req
171. It couldn't have less to do
with Islamic men and women of faith...Copy !req
172. of whom there are millions.Copy !req
173. Muslims defend this country in the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps...Copy !req
174. National Guard,
police and fire department.Copy !req
175. So let's ask the question again.Copy !req
176. Why are Islamic extremists
trying to kill us?Copy !req
177. A reasonable question if ever I heard
one. Why are we targets of war?Copy !req
178. - Because we're Americans.
- That's it?Copy !req
179. - It's our freedom.
- No other reasons?Copy !req
180. - Freedom and democracy.
- I'll tell you.Copy !req
181. Right or wrong,
and I think they're wrong...Copy !req
182. it's a good idea to acknowledge
that they do have specific complaints.Copy !req
183. I hear them every day.Copy !req
184. The people we support...Copy !req
185. troops in Saudi Arabia,
sanctions against Iraq...Copy !req
186. support for Egypt.
It's not that they dislike Irving Berlin.Copy !req
187. - Yes, it is.
- No, it's not.Copy !req
188. I don't know about Irving Berlin,
but your ridiculous search for reasons...Copy !req
189. why somebody straps
on a bomb is ridiculous.Copy !req
190. - You called me ridiculous twice.
- Hardly a record for me.Copy !req
191. - You made my list.
- Nothing happens on the list.Copy !req
192. It's a serious list. But she does have
a point, albeit college-girlish.Copy !req
193. Watch as he puts me down and
makes my point at the same time.Copy !req
194. Hardly a record for me.
What's Islamic extremism?Copy !req
195. It's strict adherence
to a particular interpretation...Copy !req
196. of seventh century Islamic law...Copy !req
197. as practiced
by the prophet Mohammad.Copy !req
198. And when I say strict adherence,
I'm not kidding around.Copy !req
199. Men are forced to pray,
grow their beards a certain length.Copy !req
200. Among my favorites is...Copy !req
201. there's only one acceptable cheer
at a soccer match:Copy !req
202. Allahu akbar, God is great.Copy !req
203. If your guys are getting creamed,
then you're on your own.Copy !req
204. Things are a lot less comic
for women...Copy !req
205. who aren't allowed
to attend school or have jobs.Copy !req
206. They're not allowed to be
unaccompanied and oftentimes...Copy !req
207. get publicly stoned to death
for crimes like not wearing a veil.Copy !req
208. I don't have to tell you,
they won't shout at a soccer match...Copy !req
209. they're never gonna go to one.Copy !req
210. So, what bothers them about us?Copy !req
211. The variety of cheers alone
coming from the cheap seats...Copy !req
212. in Giants Stadium is enough
for a jihad.Copy !req
213. To say nothing of street corners lined...Copy !req
214. church next to synagogue
next to mosque.Copy !req
215. Newspapers that can print anything
they want. And women...Copy !req
216. who can do anything, including
taking a rocket ship to outer space...Copy !req
217. vote and play soccer.Copy !req
218. This is a plural society.Copy !req
219. That means we accept more
than one idea. It offends them.Copy !req
220. So yes, she does have a point, but it
doesn't mean you should listen to her.Copy !req
221. - So, what do we do now?
- What?Copy !req
222. - What do we do now?
- I think for help with that question...Copy !req
223. we need people smarter than I am.
- Definitely.Copy !req
224. The thing is, that's pretty tough to find.Copy !req
225. But I'm gonna go see if I can get
some of my friends to join us.Copy !req
226. Listen, I don't know
what's going on...Copy !req
227. and I don't know how long
we're gonna be here.Copy !req
228. - You guys hungry?
- Yeah.Copy !req
229. Freddy, grab a couple people,
go to the kitchen...Copy !req
230. and get apples and peanut butter.Copy !req
231. Guys, I've gotten entire pieces
of legislation through Congress...Copy !req
232. on apples and peanut butter.Copy !req
233. I'll be back in a little bit.Copy !req
234. - Secret Service! Don't move!
- Show us your hands.Copy !req
235. - Do it now. Are you Raqim Ali?
- Yes. There's...Copy !req
236. Stay calm. I'm Special Agent Ron
Butterfield of the U.S. Secret Service.Copy !req
237. Keep your hands over your head
and step away from the window.Copy !req
238. We're gonna ask you some questions.Copy !req
239. Five hours ago, Khuram Sharif
was taken into custody...Copy !req
240. while crossing
from Ontario into Vermont.Copy !req
241. There was a warrant
for his arrest in connection...Copy !req
242. with an attempted bombing
at LaGuardia.Copy !req
243. Turning state's evidence over to the U.S.
attorney, he named coconspirators...Copy !req
244. one of whom was Yaarun Nabi.Copy !req
245. A preliminary check
in the NCIC kicked out five aliases...Copy !req
246. one of which was Raqim Ali.Copy !req
247. There are three Raqim Alis.Copy !req
248. One's a software designer in Spokane.Copy !req
249. - Another is a caterer in Los Angeles.
- Who's the third?Copy !req
250. He works in the White House.Copy !req
251. - It was only a matter of time, huh?
- Yeah.Copy !req
252. - Have you ever heard of Khuram Sharif?
- Yes.Copy !req
253. He was arrested in connection
with an attempted bombing...Copy !req
254. of one of the New York airports.Copy !req
255. I think he may have also been arrested
once in Paterson, New Jersey.Copy !req
256. - Paterson mean something to you?
- I was born there.Copy !req
257. - Where'd you go to school?
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Copy !req
258. I have a bachelor's degree
in applied mathematics.Copy !req
259. - You know who I am?
- Of course I know who you are.Copy !req
260. Kill them all, yeah.Copy !req
261. - All the Islamic extremists?
- No, no, I mean everyone.Copy !req
262. You're all bothering me.
I want to be left alone.Copy !req
263. The only way that's
gonna happen is to be alone.Copy !req
264. So I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have
to let you all go.Copy !req
265. Except the Yankees and the Knicks.Copy !req
266. The Yankees and the Knicks
are gonna need someone to play...Copy !req
267. so keep the Red Sox
and the Lakers...Copy !req
268. and the Laker Girls and the Palm.Copy !req
269. And we'll need to keep the people who
work at the Palm. That's it, though.Copy !req
270. The Yankees, the Red Sox,
the Knicks, the Lakers...Copy !req
271. the Laker Girls and anyone who works
at the Palm. Sports, Laker Girls...Copy !req
272. and well-prepared steak,
that's all I need.Copy !req
273. Sometimes I like
to mix it up with Italian.Copy !req
274. And Chinese. You can stay, but
don't bug me. You're on probation.Copy !req
275. Don't forget,
I was this close to banishing you.Copy !req
276. This is Toby Ziegler. And actually...Copy !req
277. he's in charge of crafting
our message to the public.Copy !req
278. - And today that message is?
- Don't bug me?Copy !req
279. - That's right.
- Nice beard.Copy !req
280. My choice, sister.Copy !req
281. There's nothing wrong
with a religion...Copy !req
282. whose laws say a man's gotta wear a
beard or cover his head or wear a collar.Copy !req
283. It's when violation of these laws
become a crime against the state...Copy !req
284. and not your parents,
that we're talking about lack of choice.Copy !req
285. "Islamic extremist is to Islamic,
as KKK is to Christianity."Copy !req
286. That's a good religious analogy.
What's a political analogy?Copy !req
287. What's an analogy using governments?Copy !req
288. - They don't have a government.
- They have the Taliban.Copy !req
289. - They have the Afghan government.
- Taliban isn't...Copy !req
290. the recognized government
of Afghanistan.Copy !req
291. The Taliban took over the
recognized government of Afghanistan.Copy !req
292. - And there's your political analogy.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
293. When you think of Afghanistan,
think of Poland.Copy !req
294. When you think of the Taliban,
think of the Nazis.Copy !req
295. When you think of Afghan citizens,
think of Jews in concentration camps.Copy !req
296. A friend of my dad's...Copy !req
297. was at one of the camps.
He used to come over to the house...Copy !req
298. and he and my dad shot pinochle.Copy !req
299. He said he once saw a guy
at the camp kneeling and praying.Copy !req
300. He said,"What are you doing?"Copy !req
301. The guy said he was thanking God.Copy !req
302. And my dad's friend said,"What could
you possibly be thanking God for?"Copy !req
303. He said,"I'm thanking God
for not making me like them."Copy !req
304. Bad people
can't be recognized on sight.Copy !req
305. There's no point in trying.Copy !req
306. Actually, we already covered that.Copy !req
307. - It's worth covering twice, you agree?
- I do.Copy !req
308. - Yeah?
- Pinochle's a card game?Copy !req
309. - I've changed my mind. Kill them all.
- Laker Girls?Copy !req
310. - No. All right.
- What was the first act of terrorism?Copy !req
311. - What was the first act of terrorism?
- I could answer, but he's asking you.Copy !req
312. I know it's not new.Copy !req
313. I know in the 11 th century...Copy !req
314. I'm gonna have trouble pronouncing
this... In the 11 th century...Copy !req
315. secret followers
of al-Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah...Copy !req
316. who were taught
to believe in nothing and dare all...Copy !req
317. carried out very swift and treacherous
murders of fellow Muslims...Copy !req
318. and did it in a state of
religious ecstasy. As a matter of fact...Copy !req
319. young men between 12 and 20
were given hashish...Copy !req
320. and smuggled into...
I really don't know what to call it.Copy !req
321. A specially designed pleasure
garden, complete with concubines.Copy !req
322. They were told this was paradise and the
master's angels would carry them back...Copy !req
323. if they carried out murders
of the master's enemies.Copy !req
324. Temptation. I have named thee
and thy name is woman.Copy !req
325. This is Sam Seaborn,
deputy communications director.Copy !req
326. Now, don't be frightened
when I tell you now that, in this room...Copy !req
327. Sam is the knowledgeable
terrorism expert.Copy !req
328. The good news is
that in this government...Copy !req
329. we have extremely
knowledgeable experts.Copy !req
330. - I heard I was needed. I came.
- We were talking about al...Copy !req
331. Am I pronouncing this right,
al-Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah?Copy !req
332. - Yeah, from the 11 th century.
- Yeah.Copy !req
333. By the way, the Arabic name for their
secret order has survived until today.Copy !req
334. Can anybody guess what it was?
The Arabic name?Copy !req
335. - You know.
- Assassins.Copy !req
336. Assassins, that's right.Copy !req
337. Yeah, we don't call on him.Copy !req
338. - What's going on?
- I have a Treasury meeting.Copy !req
339. I had a 6:00 on the Hill.
Now I'm stuck here...Copy !req
340. talking with children who can't vote.Copy !req
341. - You know a lot about terrorism?
- I dabble.Copy !req
342. What are you struck by most?Copy !req
343. - It's a 100 percent failure rate.
- Really?Copy !req
344. Not only do terrorists fail
at what they're after...Copy !req
345. they always strengthen
what they're against.Copy !req
346. - What about the I.R.A.?
- The Brits are still there.Copy !req
347. Protestants are still there.
Basque extremists...Copy !req
348. have been staging attacks
in Spain for decades with no result.Copy !req
349. Left-wing Red Brigades
from the '60s and '70s...Copy !req
350. from Baader-Meinhof Gang
in Germany...Copy !req
351. to the Weathermen in the U.S.
have tried to overthrow capitalism.Copy !req
352. - How's capitalism doing?
- What about nonviolent protest?Copy !req
353. - What about it?
- Well, it worked for Gandhi.Copy !req
354. - Yeah, it did. Who else did it work for?
- The civil rights movement.Copy !req
355. - That's right.
- Yeah, but...Copy !req
356. weren't we terrorists
at the Boston Tea Party?Copy !req
357. Nobody got hurt
at the Boston Tea Party.Copy !req
358. Except some fancy boys who didn't have
anything to wash down their crumpets.Copy !req
359. We jumped out while the British came
down the road in bright red jackets...Copy !req
360. but never has a war
been so courteously declared.Copy !req
361. It was on parchment,
with calligraphy...Copy !req
362. and,"Your Highness, we beseech
on this day to bite me if you please."Copy !req
363. Can I go back to what you were
saying at the beginning?Copy !req
364. - Yeah.
- About it being 100 percent ineffective.Copy !req
365. - Yeah.
- They're still doing it anyway.Copy !req
366. - Yeah.
- They're not frustrated by the failure.Copy !req
367. No.Copy !req
368. Well...Copy !req
369. what do you call a society
that has to live every day...Copy !req
370. with the idea that
the pizza place you're in...Copy !req
371. can just blow up without warning?
- Israel.Copy !req
372. Can you tell us about the wire
in your backpack?Copy !req
373. It's for my computer.Copy !req
374. My apartment is in an old building.
I needed old telephone wires...Copy !req
375. so I could upgrade my motherboard.
- You're an expert in circuitry and wiring?Copy !req
376. My father works
for the phone company.Copy !req
377. I want to talk about
the applied mathematics degree.Copy !req
378. - Yeah.
- Why are you working for a secretary?Copy !req
379. - L... What do you mean?
- We don't do a lot of math around here.Copy !req
380. Well, my interests shifted.
I became interested in policy.Copy !req
381. You're aware that the
intelligence agencies routinely recruit...Copy !req
382. top mathematicians, often out of MIT,
and train them to be cryptographers?Copy !req
383. - Sure.
- And those cryptographers...Copy !req
384. on a daily basis,
code and decode messages...Copy !req
385. sent between the White House,
the State Department and the Pentagon?Copy !req
386. Yes.Copy !req
387. Last year your father
made a contribution...Copy !req
388. to something called
the Holy Land Defender.Copy !req
389. Were you aware of the contribution?Copy !req
390. Mr. McGarry, I understand
the need for these questions...Copy !req
391. and I hope you noticed I've been
cooperating. But if you drag my father...Copy !req
392. into this pitiful exercise,
I'm afraid I'm gonna get angry.Copy !req
393. I don't think you understand the
seriousness of what's happening now.Copy !req
394. I don't think you do.Copy !req
395. No. No. No, no, no.
You've walked into quicksand.Copy !req
396. - You don't ask C.J. about the CIA?
- You just don't do it.Copy !req
397. C.J. has a bizarre affection for the
intelligence community that we don't.Copy !req
398. - Bizarre? How about right?
- Okay.Copy !req
399. This song is called,
"The CIA, Our Maligned Little Brother."Copy !req
400. - Oh, God.
- We need spies. Human spies.Copy !req
401. Spy satellites are great for detecting if
Khrushchev's put missiles in Cuba...Copy !req
402. but to overhear a conversation over
coffee in Khyber Pass, you need a spy.Copy !req
403. Wanna get jobs and serve your country?
Study Arabic, Chinese and Farsi.Copy !req
404. This'd be a good time for'Our Maligned
Little Brother, Civil Liberties."Copy !req
405. - Liberties shmiberties.
- C.J. Cregg.Copy !req
406. You know of a way
without tapping phones?Copy !req
407. What about illegal searches, profiling?
You know what Benjamin Franklin said?Copy !req
408. He said,"Hey, look,
I've invented the stove."Copy !req
409. He said,"They that can give up
essential liberty...Copy !req
410. to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety."Copy !req
411. What's your name?Copy !req
412. I'm on it.Copy !req
413. We're not talking about temporary
safety, and we don't need to search...Copy !req
414. for clear and present danger.Copy !req
415. - What's the point to fighting terrorism?
- To insure freedom, Pokey.Copy !req
416. - I don't need the brochure.
- You do.Copy !req
417. Because during times
of crisis and threat...Copy !req
418. America has used draconian measures.
I think you've forgotten...Copy !req
419. just how effective they've been.
Can you name some?Copy !req
420. - The Blacklist.
- I want her to name them.Copy !req
421. - The Blacklist.
- Thank you.Copy !req
422. I take civil liberties seriously.
We haven't talked about free speech...Copy !req
423. and getting lynched by the patriotism
police for voicing a minority opinion.Copy !req
424. That said,
we're gonna have to do stuff.Copy !req
425. We're gonna tap phones.
And we're gonna partner with people...Copy !req
426. who are the lesser evil.
Terrorists don't have armies and navies.Copy !req
427. They don't have capitals. Some of them,
we have to walk up to and shoot.Copy !req
428. We can root terrorists' nests...Copy !req
429. but some won't be taken
by the 105th Tank Division.Copy !req
430. Some of these guys are gonna be taken
by a busboy with a silencer.Copy !req
431. It's time to give the intelligence agencies
the money and the manpower they need.Copy !req
432. We don't hear about their successes.
The Soviets never crossed the Elbe.Copy !req
433. The North Koreans stayed behind
the 38th Parallel.Copy !req
434. During the millennium, no incidents.Copy !req
435. Think the terrorists decided
to take that day off?Copy !req
436. Not much action that day?
End of song.Copy !req
437. - You were arrested two years ago.
- Yes, and the charges were dropped.Copy !req
438. You were arrested for rallying
without a permit.Copy !req
439. It hadn't processed,
and the charges were dropped.Copy !req
440. - What were you protesting?
- U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia.Copy !req
441. What is your concern
with our troops in Saudi Arabia?Copy !req
442. Saudi Arabia is the home
to two of our holiest mosques.Copy !req
443. Mecca is there. What if I camped
out front of the Vatican...Copy !req
444. with a bunch of M-16s?
- Fine, if you're protecting the Vatican.Copy !req
445. - Mr... .
- We sent troops there to make sure...Copy !req
446. our friends didn't cross the Kuwaiti
border and seize Saudi territory.Copy !req
447. - You mean Saudi oil.
- Yes, we have oil interests in the Gulf.Copy !req
448. - So does the rest of the world.
- You sent an Army of women and men...Copy !req
449. to protect a Muslim dynasty
where women can't drive.Copy !req
450. Maybe we can teach them.Copy !req
451. Anyway, that's what I was protesting.Copy !req
452. You went to Edison High School
in Paterson?Copy !req
453. - Correct.
- On December 3rd, 1994...Copy !req
454. someone called in a bomb threat
to the school.Copy !req
455. Yeah. I remember there were bomb
threats. I remember more than one...Copy !req
456. but I don't remember the exact dates.
- Police questioned you.Copy !req
457. Yeah, it's on my school transcript
because I wasn't arrested.Copy !req
458. - What'd they ask you?
- If I called in a threat, which I didn't.Copy !req
459. Did you know who did?Copy !req
460. Football players
that didn't want to take a chem final.Copy !req
461. It was a couple of football players,
but they called you in.Copy !req
462. It's not uncommon for Arab-Americans
to be the first suspected...Copy !req
463. when that sort of thing happens.
- I can't imagine why.Copy !req
464. - Look...
- No! I'm trying to figure out...Copy !req
465. why anytime there's terrorist activity
people always assume it's Arabs.Copy !req
466. I'm racking my brain.Copy !req
467. I don't know the answer, Mr. McGarry,
but I can tell you that it's horrible.Copy !req
468. Well, that's the price you pay.Copy !req
469. Excuse me?Copy !req
470. The price I pay for what?Copy !req
471. Continue the questions.Copy !req
472. There's nothing more American
than coalition building.Copy !req
473. The first thing John Wayne
did was put together a posse.Copy !req
474. That's a hell of an example, C.J.Copy !req
475. Shouldn't you think of ways
to find aid and comfort for Intelligence?Copy !req
476. They may need some comforting now.
When this crash is over...Copy !req
477. get in fishnets and head to a bar.
- I will.Copy !req
478. - Yeah.
- Where do terrorists come from?Copy !req
479. - Where do they come from?
- Everywhere.Copy !req
480. Mostly they come from exactly
where you expect.Copy !req
481. Places of abject poverty and despair.Copy !req
482. Impoverished places are an
incubator for the worst crime.Copy !req
483. Which is the same as it is right here.Copy !req
484. It's the same as it is here.Copy !req
485. I live in Southeast D.C.Copy !req
486. If you don't know the area,
think Compton or South Central L. A... .Copy !req
487. Detroit, the South Bronx, dilapidated
schools, drugs, guns and what else?Copy !req
488. - Gangs?
- Gangs.Copy !req
489. Gangs give you a sense of belonging
and usually an income.Copy !req
490. But mostly,
they give you a sense of dignity.Copy !req
491. Men are men, and men'll seek pride.Copy !req
492. Everybody here's got a badge to wear.Copy !req
493. "I'm the deputy
communications director."Copy !req
494. "I made Presidential Classroom."
"I know. I'm going to Cornell."Copy !req
495. You think bangers walk around
with heads down saying:Copy !req
496. "Oh, man, I didn't make anything
out of my life. I'm in a gang."Copy !req
497. No, man. They're walking around saying,
"Man, I'm in a gang. I'm with them."Copy !req
498. - Good evening, Mr. President.
- Hello.Copy !req
499. - Everyone, stand up.
- What the hell's going on?Copy !req
500. This is a group of high school students
from Presidential Classroom.Copy !req
501. Please.Copy !req
502. You women seem bright and lovely.
The men, disturbingly dense.Copy !req
503. - Ignore him. The rest of us do.
- Excuse me.Copy !req
504. Weren't you coming to get me
apples and peanut butter?Copy !req
505. We're out of apples, sir.Copy !req
506. - So we're stuck here, huh?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
507. - Well, I live here.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
508. I'm going back to my office.
Nice meeting you all.Copy !req
509. - I'm gonna stay here a few minutes.
- Sir?Copy !req
510. - Yeah?
- Are you a man of principle?Copy !req
511. I try to be.Copy !req
512. Well, don't you consider... .Copy !req
513. I know they're our enemy,
but don't you consider there's...Copy !req
514. something noble
about being a martyr?Copy !req
515. A martyr would rather suffer death
at the hands of an oppressor...Copy !req
516. than renounce his beliefs.Copy !req
517. Killing yourself and innocent people
to make a point...Copy !req
518. is sick, twisted, brutal,
dumb-ass murder.Copy !req
519. I leave you with this, before I search
for the apples that were rightfully mine.Copy !req
520. We don't need martyrs right now.
We need heroes.Copy !req
521. A hero would die for his country,
but he'd much rather live for it.Copy !req
522. It was good meeting you all.Copy !req
523. - Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
524. Why were you in Uzbekistan?Copy !req
525. It was my Russia trip. I went there
with friends after graduation.Copy !req
526. Can you tell me
about the Islamic League of Allston?Copy !req
527. It used to be my mosque.Copy !req
528. - We found him.
- Where?Copy !req
529. Germany.Copy !req
530. I'm fine.Copy !req
531. Mr. Ali, you're free to go. Thank you.Copy !req
532. Thank you.Copy !req
533. You know what, Mr. McGarry?Copy !req
534. You have the memory
of a gypsy moth.Copy !req
535. When you and the president and his
daughter and 100 other people...Copy !req
536. including me, were met with
a hail of.44-caliber gunfire in Roslyn...Copy !req
537. not only were the shooters white, they
were doing it because one of us wasn't.Copy !req
538. - How did all this start?
- How did what all start?Copy !req
539. Well, this.Copy !req
540. Sarah.Copy !req
541. God said to Abraham,"Look toward
the heaven and number the stars...Copy !req
542. and so shall your descendants be."Copy !req
543. But Abraham's wife, Sarah,
wasn't getting any younger...Copy !req
544. and God wasn't coming
through on his promise.Copy !req
545. I was very young when I had my kids.
I was very, very, very, very young.Copy !req
546. I was barely even born yet when I
had my oldest daughter, Elizabeth.Copy !req
547. Anyway, Sarah was getting older,
and she was getting nervous...Copy !req
548. because she didn't have any children.Copy !req
549. So she sent Abraham
to the bed of her maid, Hagar.Copy !req
550. And Abraham and Hagar had Ishmael.Copy !req
551. And not long after they did,
God kept his promise to Sarah...Copy !req
552. as he always intended to.
And Abraham and Sarah had Isaac.Copy !req
553. And Sarah said to Abraham,
"Cast out this slave woman...Copy !req
554. with her son.
For the son of this slave woman...Copy !req
555. will not be heir with my son, Isaac."Copy !req
556. And so it began.Copy !req
557. The Jews, the sons of Isaac.
The Arabs, the sons of Ishmael.Copy !req
558. But what most people find important
to remember is that in the end...Copy !req
559. the two sons came together
to bury their father.Copy !req
560. I think most people
also find it important to remember...Copy !req
561. that the whole thing took place
about 73 million years ago.Copy !req
562. Yeah.Copy !req
563. Excuse me, ma'am, we're clear.Copy !req
564. Well, that's that, then.Copy !req
565. It was good talking with you guys.
Hang in there.Copy !req
566. Thank you.Copy !req
567. Well, all right. That's it then.Copy !req
568. - Can I ask one more question?
- Yeah.Copy !req
569. - Do you favor the death penalty?
- No.Copy !req
570. - But we should kill these people?
- You don't have the choices in a war...Copy !req
571. that you do in a jury room,
but I wish... .Copy !req
572. I wish we didn't have to.
I think death is too simple.Copy !req
573. What would you do instead?Copy !req
574. I'd put them in a small cell
and make them watch home movies...Copy !req
575. of the birthdays and baptisms and
weddings of every person they killed...Copy !req
576. over and over, every day,
for the rest of their lives.Copy !req
577. And then they'd get punched
in the mouth every night at bedtime...Copy !req
578. by a different person every night.
There'd be a long list of volunteers.Copy !req
579. But that's all right, we'll wait.Copy !req
580. But listen,
don't worry about all this right now.Copy !req
581. We got you covered.
Worry about school.Copy !req
582. Worry about what you'll tell
your parents when you break curfew.Copy !req
583. You're gonna meet guys.
You're gonna meet girls.Copy !req
584. Not so much you, Fred.
Learn things, be good to each other...Copy !req
585. read the newspapers, go to the
movies, go to a party, read a book.Copy !req
586. In the meantime, remember pluralism.Copy !req
587. You want to get these people?Copy !req
588. I mean, you really wanna reach in
and kill them where they live?Copy !req
589. Keep accepting more than one idea.Copy !req
590. Makes them absolutely crazy.Copy !req
591. Go.Copy !req
592. See you later. Okay.Copy !req
593. - Thank you.
- Thank you. Thanks a lot. It was fun.Copy !req
594. Don't steal anything on the way out.
Okay. Bye-bye.Copy !req
595. Billy, listen.Copy !req
596. Nothing.
Just keep doing what you're doing.Copy !req
597. - Okay.
- Okay.Copy !req
598. - See you.
- Bye.Copy !req
599. Good evening.Copy !req
600. That's the price you pay...Copy !req
601. for having the same
physical features as criminals.Copy !req
602. That's what I was gonna say.Copy !req
603. - No kidding.
- I'm sorry about that.Copy !req
604. Also, about the crack I made about
teaching Muslim women how to drive.Copy !req
605. I think if you talk to people who
know me, they'd tell you that...Copy !req
606. that was unlike me, you know.Copy !req
607. We're obviously all under...Copy !req
608. a greater than usual amount of... .
You know.Copy !req
609. And like you pointed out
with the shooting and everything... .Copy !req
610. Yeah, all right.Copy !req
611. Well, that's all.Copy !req
612. Hey, kid.Copy !req
613. Way to be back at your desk.Copy !req
