NEW YORK -– Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made big news Monday night by telling CNN that she accepts responsibility for security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, at the time of the deadly Sept. 11 attack.

For weeks, the Obama administration has been dogged by questions over its initial explanation for the attack -- that it was prompted by anger over an anti-Islam video on YouTube -- and over security at the compound prior to the assault which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
