I can understand how that doesn't help your first interests.
And she has a right to express herself. Does she speak for the other victims? Does the fact that he was an Ambassador mean he is more important? Most likely, his actions were instrumental in the others dying trying to save him. Working in embassies is not as glamorous as many might suppose. They don't install safe rooms in your residence just to use up government funds. And it is not very comforting if you are one of those that are not allowed to have a gun in your home in a hostile country. Especially, when you have your family with you. But, when you depend on your leaders to have your back, you go about your duty and hope they are there when you need them. I retired days before Obama was sworn in because I knew better.
