parachute, in an attempt to provoke a military confrontation with Israel through a false flag operation. Fitzwallace and Leo McGarry agree that they cannot exonerate Israel and denounce the false evidence without admitting their own culpability. Meanwhile, C.J. approaches Charlie about taking over Simon's role as a big brother to a young black man, Anthony, who has started to act up as a way to cope with Simon's death. Charlie is at first unwilling to lend his limited free time to volunteer, but when Anthony lashes out at C.J., Charlie has a dramatic change of heart. Later in the episode, a report comes in that two pipe bombs have exploded during a college swim meet, killing 44 people and injuring over 100. Everyone is shaken by this event, but it inspires Sam to write a powerfully uplifting speech, which the President delivers to great effect. Part of the content of this speech is actually spoken by Bartlet earlier in the first episode. Bruno Gianelli refers to Sam as a 'freak' for being able to write the most moving portion of the speech during the ride to the event. Plagiarism incident On May 6, 2006, NBC Sports aired a special program before the Kentucky Derby that plagiarized two passages from the speech that Sam writes for the President following the explosion of the pipe bombs in "20 Hours in America, Part II". The freelance writer responsible for the plagiarism was fired. References External links The West Wing (season 4) episodes 2002 American television episodes Television episodes set in Indiana
