I think Americans are asking how they could have gone undetected for that long in that kind of an environment.

I am heartened to know the last thing Osama bin Laden saw before death was an American soldier bearing down on him with an American flag on his shoulder.

I have introduced H.R. 915, a bill to codify the BEST program in law to help ensure the program.

I think that is where the cooperation, especially on the intelligence side, between the Federals and the locals is crucial.

We do have more resources down there. I think we all agree with that. But the situation has become more dangerous and more violent.

I would also like to highlight the important supporting role that State and local law enforcement play in the Federal Government's border security.

For all the money we have spent, how can we develop a relationship of trust with the Pakistani government when, in fact, you have what I would call a fairly weak President and an ISI that is rogue at the very least?

At the very least, whether there was complicity or incompetence, at the very least there has not been a high priority in targeting senior al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan.

Members of Congress have a responsibility to ask what kind of support system or benefactors could have allowed bin Laden to maintain this safe haven?

I think the awareness of the industry has improved.

I think sometimes we legislate, and there is a law of unintended consequences.
