Alexander Zale: Ambassador Shareef

Quotes 

• Ambassador Shareef : I want you to know that since your conversation with the Prime Minister this morning, we have taken four suspected members of Second Wave into custody and we have begun interrogations

  President David Palmer : What've you learned?

  Ambassador Shareef : We are still questioning them

  Ambassador Shareef : As ranking security officer, I assure you we are doing everything possible to clamp down on this kind of activity

  Roger Stanton : These satellite photos were taken over your country over an hour ago. It doesn't look like too much of a "clamp down" to me

  Ambassador Shareef : We don't have the resources that you do: surely even you can't tell me that you are aware of every single paramilitary compound currently operating in the US

  Ambassador Shareef : If this bomb goes off Mr. President and you don't believe that we did everything possible to stop it, there will be heavy repercussions from my country. You have already made it quite clear that you will have no choice but to retaliate against us. We want to help

  President David Palmer : What do you propose?

  Ambassador Shareef : A mutual exchange of intelligence

  President David Palmer : What kind of exchange?

  Ambassador Shareef : We need access to your files on Second Wave

  President David Palmer : Files?

  Ambassador Shareef : Yes, anything that pertains to suspected terrorism in our country

  President David Palmer : I'm not sure how much Intel is in our interest to share with you at this time

  Ambassador Shareef : I understand your reservations Mr. President but be assured we want to prevent this "incident." We are prepared for an exchange in both directions. We are willing to open our files to you as well

  President David Palmer : I'll have to think about this Mr. Ambassador

  Ambassador Shareef : Of course
