Anna Deavere Smith: Maricella Canavesio

Quotes 

• Ellis Leach : I met with Prince Thamer at Saudi Embassy fifteen minutes after hearing this morning's news. And after speaking with Thamer, I advised withholding additional U.S. personnel, because a large part of the religious justification for these bombs is the presence of current U.S. personnel. More boots on Saudi soil is only gonna make an already combustible situation that much more so.

  Maricella Canavesio : My two cents. The Saudis have not asked for FBI help. They've done the opposite. This is just going to further complicate an already deteriorating situation with one of our few remaining allies in the Middle East.

  Attorney General Gideon Young : Rock solid logic.

  FBI Director James Grace : Well, we would like to be on the record as saying the FBI would like an Evidence Response Team on the ground in Riyadh now.

  Ellis Leach : Doesn't your team in that country represent exactly the kind of... of target that these masters would die for? They'd trade ten of their own for one of you.

  FBI Director James Grace : Not to go after criminals because they might try to harm you is really not a policy of the FBI. See, we try not to say uncle. We try.
