She was one of the first to call in to share the events happening live. The U.S. brought charges against the so-called “20th Hijacker”, Zacarias Moussaoui, who eventually pleaded guilty.

KVI's John Carlson interviews Washington Policy Center environmental policy director, Todd Myers, who has been scrutinizing the latest August auction of the Department of Ecology carbon fuel permits which are related to the recently enacted "cap and invest" law signed by Gov.
