Basic thrust is that
the security of the country

may be compromised

because the head
of counterterrorism in New York

was the subject
of intense internal scrutiny

following the loss
of a briefcase

containing
classified documents.

I can kill it.

‐ I normally don't attend

the weekly counterterrorism
meeting as a rule,

but I wanted to be here today
to underscore

that from the CIA's perspective,

there is nothing more urgent
than containing al‐Qaeda.

‐ Thank you, George.

CONDOLEEZZA: I told your
colleague the other day,

I don't deal in generalities.

I need specifics.

‐ And specifics you shall have,
good lady.

The NSA's been hearing
a lot of chatter

from various terrorist cells.

Correct, Michael?
‐ Roger that.

‐ We're concerned
about a potential attack

on Jordan, Saudi Arabia,
Israel...

he has no interest

We have had repeated trouble

with the sharing of information
