Quotes from We Killed Yamamoto


Bartlet: You haven't got it.
Fitzwallace: Sir?
Bartlet: We want to ask the Justice Department to indict the Qumari Minister of Defense. We're saying he's a terror king-pin. We're saying he's killed I don't know how many civilians and how many of Tommy's marines. We're saying he's compromised I don't know how many agents around the world. And we're saying he's done it in the clothing of an ally. This isn't a cave-dweller, this is Capone. You haven't got it.

Leo: This is the most horrifying part of your liberalism. You think there are moral absolutes.
