Bill Clinton actually said...

I think it is better right now if we let a little time pass and let this event and the people involved be honored and grieved.

I will always be glad that I knew the Princess and always think of her in very strong and positive terms.

We admire her work for children, for people with AIDS, for the cause of ending the scourge of landmines in the world.

We value their friendship, and we understand this great and painful experience.
