Congresswoman Chellie Pingree issued the following statement on the death of Osama Bin Laden. Pingree is a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Today we are grateful for the highly trained and effective intelligence and security forces that were able to hunt down Osama bin Laden and carry out a very difficult and complex mission to kill him. At moments like this we are once again reminded that we have the most talented, highly trained and dedicated armed forces in the world.
With the death of Bin Laden, justice has been served and I hope it will provide a certain amount of closure for the families of 9/11 victims.
