Relatives of 9/11 victims from Minnesota shared their stories on the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks, during a remembrance in the Capitol rotunda Monday morning. Gov. Pawlenty read from scripture, reminding the audience not to overcome "evil with evil, but evil with good."

We hear highlights of that ceremony, and talk about the state of counter-terrorism in the U.S. five years later.
