Stephen Spinella: Miles Papazian

Quotes 

• Mike Novick : [Over the phone]  what is it?

  Miles Papazian : I need your input because I'm having a problem with Karen Hayes. I'd like to preface what I'm about to tell you by saying that I don't wish to be second guessed...

  Mike Novick : [Interrupts him]  I don't have time for prefaces: Karen Hayes was called in to replace Bill Buchanan. She was hand chosen by the Vice President to take that post

  Miles Papazian : I understand that sir

  Mike Novick : Are you saying she's "unfit" to do the job?

  Miles Papazian : Four hours she relived Bill Buchanan for ineffectual leadership. His been working covertly with Chloe O'Brian to aid Jack Bauer: a federal fugitive which means Buchanan needs to be dealt with appropriately

  Mike Novick : What's Karen done?

  Miles Papazian : She sent a Tact team to pick them both up and by the time they got there, O'Brian was gone but instead of having the team do the interrogation to Buchanan on site, Karen wasted twenty minutes by bringing him into CTU

  Mike Novick : Maybe she felt the interrogation would be more effective with CTU resources?

  Miles Papazian : But sir, she isn't even using rudimentary CTU resources: she wants to do a soft Q and A by herself. Any leads we may had on O'Brian have dried up

  Mike Novick : Wait a second, I'm not going to pass judgment on Karen Hayes at this point. She's not interrogating a terrorist, she's dealing with a high ranking federal employee. Sometimes finesse and diplomacy are better than coercion. Your concern is duly noted. If you'll excuse me I need to see the President
