Philanthropist and author Greg Mortenson fabricated stories in his bestselling books and improperly used charitable funds to promote those books, according to a “60 Minutes” report. Mortenson has admitted to literary “omissions and compressions” and management mistakes, but defended his overall record. We discuss the fallout from the report.

Guests:

Daniel Borochoff, president and founder of the American Institute of Philanthropy and interviewee in the "60 Minutes" piece

Shalini Nataraj, vice president of programs for the Global Fund for Women

Laura Miller, senior writer for Salon.com, author and frequent contributor to the New York Times Book Review
