Today U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement:
"First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of Ambassador Stevens and fellow Americans who lost their lives in Libya. I am outraged by this terrorist attack against our country and committed to bringing these terrorists to justice. Yesterday's attack is a reminder that violent extremism is alive and well in the Middle East and that we must continue to eliminate those who seek to do the U.S. harm."
