Samantha Power made her name on both her hard-hitting, Pulitzer-prize winning book, "A Problem From Hell: America and the Age of Genocide,"and her no holds-barred lectures and articles decrying the U.S. Government's lax responses to crimes against humanity and genocide. In the aforementioned book, Power excoriated a host of presidential administrations for what she deemed to be their "toleration of unspeakable atrocities, often committed in clear view." Proudly, she welcomed the sobriquet -- and took on the mantle of -- "the genocide chick."
