Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota.

Omar, who came to the United States from Somalia as a child, said the search was an attempt to target political opponents.

The rules sometimes matched and sometimes reversed their preferences, so participants had to adjust as the task changed.

People made more accurate predictions when the rules agreed with their existing likes and dislikes.
