While Former President Clinton was attending a fund-raiser in Minnesota some hecklers claimed 9/11 was an inside job.
The following video gives you his response:

Thank you, Mr. President.

Might I say, it is one with which I agree.
Beauchamp is young; under pressure he made a dumb mistake. In fact, he has not always been an ideal soldier. But to his credit, the young soldier decided to stay, and he is serving tonight in a dangerous part of Baghdad. He might well [...]
