Samantha Power won a 2003 Pulitzer Prize for her non-fiction book, A PROBLEM FROM HELL: AMERICA AND THE AGE OF GENOCIDE and is founder of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University. David Brancaccio sits down with Power to discuss the recently surfaced images showing the abuse of Iraqis from inside the Abu Ghraib prison and the implications for the view of America in the Middle East and the world. Power will also discuss what she sees as the blurry lines between American values and universal values, America's a la carte application of principles, and the immunity from international scrutiny that America seeks by not signing on to bodies like the International Criminal Court.

NOW with Bill Moyers gets a unique perspective on the flight of manufacturing jobs out of America and reports on why some business owners believe that shipping jobs overseas is selling America out. David Brancaccio travels to Rockford, IL, a bellwether of the nation's manufacturing economy, and talks to business owners about the 12,000 jobs lost in the area during the recession. "We cannot continue to exploit the low cost labor countries at the expense of our people here state side," says Rockford business owner Matt Bortoli. "This is the new terrorist threat as far as I'm concerned."
