Holy Land Defender
Charitable Organizations under Post-9/11 Security ScrutinyDescription
Leo McGarry corners Raqim Ali in a shadowed White House office, post-9/11 lockdown fueling his grill: 'Last year, your father made a contribution to something called the Holy Land Defender.' This charity or group—recipient of paternal funds—ignites Ali's fury, cooperation shattering into accusations of 'pitiful exercise' as security probe drags family into suspicion's maw. No hierarchy, missions, or operatives emerge; it functions solely as a flagged affiliation in bias-laced vetting, testing dignity amid crisis gravity.
