Zeljko Ivanek: Steve Atwood

Quotes 

• Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg : Danny Concannon is doing a story alleging we assassinated Abdul Sheriff.

  Glenallen Walken : How are his sources?

  Leo McGarry : He's got it.

  Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg : He's looking for a comment

  Glenallen Walken : I suppose throwing him in leg irons and locking him in the basement of the Capitol wouldn't do any good.

  Leo McGarry : We shouldn't comment, sir, not while Zoey Bartlett is missing.

  Steve Atwood : No, we need to get out in front of it, release it before it breaks in the Post.

  Toby Ziegler : Release what? That we violated The Neutrality Act to covertly assassinate an official of a friendly government?

  Steve Atwood : He must not have been too friendly if you decided to shoot him.

  Will Bailey : Sir, acknowledging the assassination destroys a century's worth of progress towards international law.

  Steve Atwood : You guys didn't think about that before you did it?

  Josh Lyman : It wasn't supposed to become public.

  Steve Atwood : Yeah well you tried that before. How did it work out on MS?
