i'm lesley stahl. in this edition, we examine the boardroom intrigue at hewlett-packard between 2005 and 2007. it was a tumultuous saga that led to criminal charges, executive firings, accusations of sexism, and lots and lots of finger-pointing. and in the midst of it all, three of the protagonists told me their sides of the story -- pattie dunn, thomas perkins, and carly fiorina. we begin with pattie dunn. it was 2005, and she was appointed chairman of hewlett-packard. yet just 20 months later, dunn was gone from hp due to her participation in an internal investigation that involved spying on members of the board. less than a month later, dunn was charged with four felony counts for her role in that investigation. in october 2006, only hours after the criminal charges against her were announced, pattie dunn sat down with me to talk about what happened at hewlett-packard. let me ask you the obvious question that i think every lawyer who's watching this is asking himself or herself. why are you giving u

i'm lesley stahl. in this edition, we examine the american work force and we discover what stimulates new homebuyers. but we begin with steelworkers. steel, the so-called backbone of america, is suffering. at the beginning of 2009, steel plants across the country were hanging on for the stimulus package to kick in, with its over $100 billion for building things like highways and bridges. as i first reported in february 2009, the package included a "buy american" clause that the steel industry had fought hard for. it says any infrastructure project paid for with stimulus dollars must use steel made in the u.s.a., not cheaper imports. >> the whole purpose of your stimulus package-- and it's the right purpose-- is to stop the bleeding of jobs and to create new jobs here in america, not overseas, not in china, not in europe. >> dan dimicco is the c.e.o. of nucor, the biggest steelmaker in the united states, with 18 plants all across the country, including this one outside blytheville, arkansas, along the m

the americans will do it. >> joining us now, lesley stahl. good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us the significance of this coming from this man. why is he so relevant to the question? >> well, he was running the massad through most of the period of the iranian nuclear development. we assume he was seeing intelligence reports. his actual mission was to prevent this nuclear bomb from ever coming to fruition. that was his mainly singular assignment for his eight years running massad. we assume he knows a lot. we know he knows a lot. he's also a hero in israel. he's a war hero. not a war hero but an army hero. so he's greatly respected in the country. >> and what is he most concerned about? >> he's most concerned about a retaliation more than anything else. he feels that if israel launches an attack, the bombardment will devastate the country. if the united states launches the attack, they get hit whatever happens, but it won't be as bad. it's not that he wouldn't like to see these facilities destroyed, but he says flat out that they can't be
