NSC Communications Office

Description

NSC Communications Office cables incendiary drafts—like President Bartlet's radio address endorsing the War Crimes Tribunal—direct to generals abroad, such as Adamley mid-Middle East trip, thrusting Oval policy into military hands where fury erupts. Leo absorbs the blowback in lobby shadows, as the office functions as secure conduit amplifying ethical rifts over warfare justice amid Pentagon pushback and reelection peril.
