the daniel pearl story is one of atrocious violence against an innocent person. if you use him and his story in a tweet, you better make sure you know what you're talking about. this goes to my neary i don't believe anyone in a mgz of power and influence should do their own twitter accounts. you twitter to monitor the news, but if you don't know how to use 140 characters appropriately, do everyone a favor and stay off it. >> eric, she tries to amend the tweet, but this is a woman who has likened u.s. foreign policy to those of the nazis. she said we need a historical reckoning, which sounds like reconciliation, and instituting a mea culpa doctrine would enhance american credibility. >> what she read was the correction. the original tweet was daniel pearl, blah blah, which is basically the most insulting thing you can possibly say to, a, the pearl family, b, the wall street journal, c, anyone, journalists and americans. this guy was murdered. this guy was murdered. she's blaming him for the murder? >> a tear nl thing to say, but where did she say about comparing u

samantha power tweeted this about daniel pearl.ividual accountability and reconciliation are required to break cycles of violence. after she tweeted that, people go what are you talking about? he was beheaded by khalid shaikh mohammed himself because he was jewish. what is she talking about? >> remember power comes from a long line of left wing activists who believe that america is really the problem in the world. this view that america's past, as she has described before back in 2013, is something that we have to do basically a national mea culpa for. so her all approach to foreign policy has been america frankly on her news asking for forgiveness is a better america. that's not my view of america. her view is that america's past is so dark and so dismal that we have an enormous amount to account for on the world stage and the president apupon theed h appointed her because that's what he thought. remember what president obama did with his apology tour and we'll be different, it will be a different playing field in the world with p

. >> the daniel pearl act was passed, which said that the u.s. government really called on nations to protect journalists and not to allow something like that to happen. however, much like the u.n. resolution, it's a statement of intent. it has no real force. >> almost everyone i know who does this, has this sense of mission. if you are in a war zone, and see something happen in front of you that shouldn't be happening, and you bring that back to where the policy makers are, and they see that, and they change the policy, you're doing your job. >> i am optimistic. i think that you see spreading around the world this general desire for the rule of law, and for governments that are more accountable to their people. people want information. they want judicial systems that are independent. as that continues, you will see that there will be accountability for people who uhm. abuse journalists and- and less impunity. >> it's really common, i think, for people to be looking for new sources of information. and i think that that really underscores and puts

most people aren't familiar with the shaikh but they're familiar with wall street daniel pearl reporterted states. and on the way to that interview, he was kidnapped and then beheaded. the shaikh and the moa does not like exposing these camps. they're basically located in rural america and deserted places, in mountain areas, and they're a very dangerous group. >> and you know there's nothing wrong with people living together who believe the same thing. there's little italy, there's a brazilian section right here in manhattan. so what goes on in these groups that we should be aware of that's concerning to you? >> well, the fbi report that came out yesterday that was produced in 2007 is quite clear about the objective of muslims of the americas. they have killed ten people, they set off several firebombings in the united states, they have set off explosive bombings, they have killed their own people. they're a very dangerous group. and the fact that the shaikh would dare to post on his own website that they have a hit team operating inside the united states and that they commit such crime

danielle nottingham in frederick county, maryland. coming up the president signs the farm bill, what it means >>> the 2014 winter games officially got underway with today's opening ceremony. matt pearlr sister station wxia in atlanta is in sochi. here are five observations from his first five days. >> reporter: observation no. 1, the sochi olympic setup is indeed quite gorgeous. organizers, of course, spent millions to make it that way, but 1 cannot help but be dazzled by the sloping arenas of the coastal cluster and the stunning natural beauty of the mountain cluster, but observation no. 2, so much of that beauty feels temporary, not the mountains, of course, but the venues and olympic fanfare feel situated in the middle of nowhere. sochi has the same population as rockford, illinois. now imagine five swanky new arenas flopped down in rockford. you wonder how these buildings will hold up after the olympics go away. observation no. 3, the weather. the temperature hasn't dropped below freezing since we've been here, but it does change fast. when the sun goes down and the wind starts whipping, calm turns to cold in a matter of minutes. observation no. 4, two groups at these games have
