“JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE”

Remarks on Osama bin Laden

WASHINGTON, D.C., MAY 2, 2011

Just after 11:30 P.M EDT on May 2, 2011, President Obama appeared on national television to announce that a U.S. military operation had killed Osama bin Laden earlier that day. Bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist organization al Qaeda, had played a major role in organizing the September 11 attacks and was viewed as the highest-value target in the country’s struggle against global terrorism. The events of May 2 would later be recalled in the public imagination chiefly through a photograph that captured Obama and his advisors as they watched the operation unfold in the Situation Room, as well as through a successful Hollywood film that told the story of the years-long hunt for bin Laden. But on that night, the president’s brief words—at once somber and celebratory—captivated the nation.
