Special Ops Unit

President Bartlet ordered the Special Ops Unit last May to assassinate Qumari Defense Minister Abdul Shareef. The unit executed the covert kill and staged the aftermath to match public reports of an accident. Bartlet confesses this directly to senior staff—Leo, Toby, Josh, C.J.—in the Oval Office, owning the action amid debates on legal justification, political risks, and heightened national security threats from vanished Bahji sleepers.
