• Tom Lennox : Your sister's been arrested

  President Wayne Palmer : What? When?

  Tom Lennox : Less than hour ago: the FBI was sent to the offices of the Islamic American Alliance to serve a warrant for the personnel files. Sandra proceeded to delete them right in front of the agents. They had no choice but to arrest her

  President Wayne Palmer : Damn it, where is she being taken to?

  President Wayne Palmer : No, he can't and I do not believe for one second he has any intention on stopping these attacks, not permanently. If I go along with this, it only buys us more time in finding Fayed. At the very least, it gives this country a rest from the bombings

  Karen Hayes : Sir, you'd be releasing a hundred and ten extremely dangerous terrorists
