And I believe they renamed him “Ralph Hanley” until they realized that TV audiences no longer remembered who John Hinckley was and they went back to “Ralph Hinckley.”

I don’t see why it needed to be changed or even addressed. I’d hope most people are intelligent enough to understand that a fictional spy agency is obviously in no way related to a group of real life Sunni jihadists.
