Bush says he feels “grateful” that bin Laden is gone. He was at Dallas restaurant Rise No. 1 with Laura when the Secret Service told him he had a call from the White House. He went home to take it, where President Obama relayed the news.

“I didn’t… feel any great sense of happiness. Or jubilation,” he says. “I felt a sense of closure. And I felt a sense of gratitude that justice had been done.”
