Today U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held a press conference saying “justice has been served,” with respect to the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

From The Hill, Clinton, in brief remarks Monday morning at the State Department, cheered the end of a “campaign of terror and violence” initiated by bin Laden well before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against New York and Washington.

“Our message to the Taliban remains the same, but today, it may have even greater resonance: You cannot wait us out. You cannot defeat us,” Clinton said. “But you can make the choice to abandon al Qaeda and participate in a peaceful political process.

“Let us remind ourselves: This is America. We rise to the challenge, we persevere, and we get the job done,” she added.
