I love West Wing... BUT.... I really have trouble getting past the idea that the US Secret Service did not clear the buliding where the shooters shot from. One would think that this would be done and the building kept secure the whole time Bartlet was there. I know that is sop with the Secret Service in reality. Butterfield and his crew revealed incompetence.

Sorkin amazingly pulls at the heartstrings, with quiet, emotional moments involving Josh, CJ, Sam and Donna in flashbacks that are powerful expressions of love among the principal players of the West Wing. Though he's likely best-known for his dramatic writing in confrontational scenes like those of "A Few Good Man", it's true sentiment that marks Sorkin's best work.

A pre-credits concise resolution of the "third man" conspirator manhunt leads to CJ and Donna's back stories, replete with terrific cameos by Allen Garfield and Grace Zabriskie as Sorkin gets in some solid jabs against the phoniness of Hollywood. A brilliant plot twist concerning Charlie is quite prophetic, as is the subplot involving the Secret Service.

What is most amazing is how Sorkin, without hamming it up or getting on a soapbox, shows how world crises and tales of "great men" (or in the current era, constant focus on an egocentric nut trying to lord it over the world as president) are actually less important dramatically than the interpersonal relations of those folks behind the scenes.
