The West Wing Revisited: Lord John Marbury

Sun, Oct 12, 2014

As a result of Congressman Lillienfield’s claim that one in three White House staffers used drugs, Josh Lyman performed an internal investigation. Now, a group named “Freedom Watch” is subpoenaing senior White House staff to learn about the results of the investigation, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. It’s unclear how much of this would be known by the public, but all the facts are at least notionally available.

Of far more global import: the Indian Army invades Pakistani held Kashmir territory. The UN Security Council calls an emergency meeting.

To assist, President Bartlet calls in Lord John Marbury, the former ambassador to New Delhi from the United Kingdom.

The episode concludes with a 2-week ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
