She was being grilled by that panel over the response of the State Department to the attack and the State Department's policies leading up to the attack when she made that comment. Sorry, Winger but it's hard to see how Clinton's poor choice of words was about anything else.
She was talking about whether the attackers were spontaneous or a planned terrorist attack
Her point was that it did not make a difference in bringing them to justice
The questions she was being asked was whether or not she knew if it was a spontaneous or planned attack and when it was that she DID know that! Clinton misled the families of the dead men and the American people when she characterized the attacks as spontaneous reactions to a YouTube film and THAT was why she was being grilled by those members of Congress!
Actually there is evidence that the protests at the time were due to the YouTube video and that terrorists took advantage of the protests
But Hillarys point was that it did not matter what their reason was...they would be brought to justice regardless of their reason
