In the scene where the kidnappers' message is being played in the situation room, the Arabic message is actually Abdul Shareef's dialogue from Season 3 when he met with the president, re-used. The producers simply gave a different translation.

Quotes
President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet:
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral. Returning violence with violence only multiplies violence adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.'"
Leo McGarry:
Dr. King.
President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet:
I'm part of that darkness now, Leo. When did that happen?
Leo McGarry:
Dr. King wasn't wrong. He just didn't have your job.

Zoey's kidnapping goes into its second day. Walken orders bombings and ground forces in Qumar. The staff (and Josh particularly) are going crazy with fear that Walken will start legislating a right wing agenda. How is it that we had to wait for season 5 to meet the President's eldest daughter? Hello, Liz Bartlet (Annabeth Gish - DESERT BLOOM, MYSTIC PIZZA), in the second of six fine appearances. The debut of Jesse Bradford (ROMEO + JULIET, HACKERS) as irritating intern Ryan Pierce, who would do nine episodes. He's obvious comic relief here, but will become a little more. This kidnapping arc finale isn't as brilliant as its predecessors, but is pushed into greatness by Goodman and the images of a family reunited.
