Moore Statement on Death of Osama bin Laden

Date: May 2, 2011
Location: Milwaukee, WI
Issues: National Security

U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) made the following statement after President Obama announced that Osama bin Laden -- mastermind of the 9/11 attacks -- was killed:

"I applaud our military, our President, and his national security team for ridding the world of the dark presence of Osama bin Laden. He has held the world captive, and his death ends a tragic chapter in a horror story where extremists target innocent civilians with murder, mayhem and fear.

"Bin Laden's death brings a sense of relief to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 and indeed every American. Our global partners and allies and peoples all over the world -- regardless of race, creed, color, country, or religion -- stand vigilant and unified with us today to rebuke this extremism and break free from the bondage of fear."
