Plot

As Sam finalizes the maddening details of Bartlet's upcoming summit with the Russian president, satellite photographs reveal an Iranian nuclear bomb facility built with Russian technology. The discovery could cause major problems with the leaders' meeting.

C.J., nettled by questions from reporters during a press briefing, allows herself to be drawn into voicing her personal opinion on a group of schoolgirls in Saudi Arabia who died when they were prevented from escaping a burning building by the mutaween religious police because they were not properly dressed according to religious law. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1874471.stm Saudi police stopped fire rescue] . BBC, March 15, 2002.] [ [http://www.now.org/nnt/summer-2002/gender.html U.S. Companies support gender segregation in Saudi Arabia] . National Organization for Women Newsletter, Summer 2002.] Following this, C.J. begins receiving explicit death threats via e-mail prompting the head of White House security, Ron Butterfield, to assign to her Secret Service protection.

Charlie seeks the source of a curious letter addressed to the President that uses the private mail code. And Toby ponders whether to allow a controversial Russian journalist, Ludmilla Koss, who has criticized the Russian president, to attend the summit.
