This afternoon, the President made the third visit of his term out to Langley, although there was a different feeling this time. 

As Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper put it, the death of bin Laden was not only a moment of some closure for families of the victims of his attacks, it was a moment of some closure for the intelligence community (IC). 

But of course that community toils on without a break, going through the millions of pages of intelligence found there and hunting down threats around the world. 

The President thanked the IC for their efforts to find Osama bin Laden.
