Ted, She's trying to get to the bottom of it.
No she wasn't. Do you really take these words of hers at face value?
And I know there is never any shortage of second-guessers and Monday morning quarterbacks, ready to dismantle any comment, or critique any action taken, or not taken.
Having experienced that from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, I will not play that game, especially in this circumstance.
Oh yes she will indeed play that game. Her stunt was designed to plant the idea into people's heads, the idea that Bush knowingly allowed 9/11 to happen, in hopes that it might take hold. I agree with Ari Fleicher's response:

"When there was a suggestion that Bush knew…about 9/11, Mayor Bloomberg of New York said that suggestion was ridiculous," Fleischer said, referring to a New York Post headline from that morning. "I have to say with disappointment that Mrs. Clinton, having seen that same headline, did not call the White House, did not ask if it was accurate or not. Instead, she immediately went to the floor of the Senate, and I'm sorry to say that she followed that headline and divided."
Democrats fired back, and the partisan wars had begun anew. To me, it was one of the most shameful political stunts Hillary ever pulled, worthy of Survivor: Washington.
