The high cost of cheap clothing

Some Western businesses are evaluating where their products are made after more than 500 people died in the Rana Plaza garment factory collapse in Bangladesh. Thousands more were rescued from the debris of the crumbled building. Workers are still sorting through the wreckage and uncovering more deceased workers with each layer of concrete in the nine-story building.

Anderson Cooper talked about the incident and the repercussions with Christiane Amanpour, Ari Fleischer, Jeffrey Toobin and Amy Holmes in a special edition of AC360. The bottom line is that cheap clothing sold in the U.S. can mean unsafe conditions with little compensation for laborers abroad.

Amanpour, who interviewed the Prime Minister of Bangladesh on her CNNI show, says corruption is rampant."This factory was basically a land grab by a well-connected guy who then built more floors," she says. "It goes to the heart of the fact there's no organized labor there. All of us in the West, we like really cheap fashion and this is what's happening."

Will Murray conviction be overturned?

Mark Geragos and Jeffrey Toobin react to Anderson Cooper's conversation with Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's doctor who's serving a four year sentence for the singer's death.

In the surprising exclusive, Murray gave his account of his relationship with Jackson, argued why he thinks his manslaughter conviction should be overturned, and sang a song to explain himself.

Toobin says despite Murray not being a good doctor, he made a valid point about the role of Jackson's family in the story. "He is not the only person responsible for Michael Jackson's death. Michael Jackson himself is responsible, his bums and leeches in his family who are now even in death trying to profit off him...I think sorting out the responsibility for his death is going to be difficult in this case."
