Kind of hard for the administration to figure out what happened and make sure it doesnt happen again if the only info they're getting is "what difference does it make at this point?"
I'd have to assume the reason they're asking the question is so they can figure out what happened and make sure it doesn't happen again.

This is an important thread and I hope her words are analyzed further. It's terrible how she's making it out to be the equivalent of an auto accident.
Not to derail, but check out the second video in this article: www.weeklystandard.com...
I don't think it looks like Hillary. After all, she was MIA for a while with her mysterious fall and blood clot situation. I honestly think it could possibly be a body double. Even the sound of her voice is different. I don't know. Maybe this is nothing, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
No. No. NO NO NO NO NO NO. Just friggen NO!!!!!! I refuse to have this interesting thread on dissecting this hearing, be hijacked by another ridiculous unfounded nut theory. Im sorry. But JUST SAY NO!
Obama: “I locked up a guy who made a movie about Mohammed.” Emir: “That’s nothing, I locked up a poet who insulted me.”

It was clear that Hillary was going to lie through her teeth.
That's the job of the Secretary of State. She lies for a living. So I'm not surprised that she would just brush off any questions regarding responsibility and reporting in the aftermath. They don't really care that it did happen, they are only sorry it happened on their watch and they want to make damn sure nobody but those dead get the blame.
It's pathetic really.

It's possible that we will learn that she did in fact know about the cables.
Time will tell.

As far as live monitoring, Hills denied live feed in her answers today.
But facts dispute that. Technically it wasn't sent to WH, but it was monitored real time by DOD.
Live video from a drone flying over the U.S. Consulate during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, was monitored at a Defense Department facility, but was not fed to the White House, senior officials say.
The Obama administration has declined to respond to media requests for details about who was watching the live video, but a senior defense official told The Washington Times that “the surveillance aircraft captured footage of events on the ground” and “it wasn’t available that night at the White House.”
The officials said the “overhead footage was available at a DOD location,” and they declined to comment further. Read more: www.washingtontimes.com... Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter

No, I don't see a difference.....the point trying to be made about what she said is, you can't ignore why it happened if you want to stop it from happening again.
You need to know a cause in order to change the effect.
the Accountability Review Board led by Ambassador Pickering and Admiral Mullen
I have accepted every one of their recommendations — and I asked the Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources to lead a task force to ensure that all 29 of them are implemented quickly and completely… as well as to pursue additional steps above and beyond those in the Board’s report.
..
Our task force started by translating the recommendations into 64 specific action items. All of these action items were assigned to specific bureaus and offices, with clear timelines for completion. Fully 85 percent are on track to be completed by the end of March, with a number completed already.
We are taking a top-to-bottom look, and rethinking how we make decisions on where, when, and how our people operate in high threat areas, and how we respond to threats and crises.
