How Can We Have Sovereignty When We Don't Have Electricity or Water to Bathe? Iraqi Reporter on US Troop Pullback

In Iraq, a deadly car bomb in the northern city of Kirkuk has killed up to forty people and injured another 100. Tuesdays bombing came hours after US troops withdrew from major Iraqi towns and cities, marring celebrations on a day that is now officially declared as National Sovereignty Day, a public holiday. We go to Iraq to speak with Sahar Issa, an Iraqi reporter working with the Baghdad Bureau of McClatchy Newspapers. We also speak with investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill about his article, Iraqs National Sovereignty Day is US-Style Hallmark Hype.
