(CBS News) For the first time, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is speaking in depth about the killing of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and the questions surrounding how the attacks were characterized by administration officials in the days after the consulate attack.

Just five days after the Benghazi attack in which four Americans were killed, U.S. Ambassasdor to the United Nations Susan Rice appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation." She blamed the violence on spontaneous protests over an anti-Muslim film, saying "we do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned."

It was one of several TV appearances Rice made that day.

CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan asked Clinton if she approved Rice's speaking points that she delivered on the TV shows that day.

"I think she very clearly said, 'Here's what we know now, but this is going to change,'" Clinton said. "This is what we have at present but it will evolve - and the intelligence community has said the same thing."

Clinton said she did not speak to Rice prior to her Sunday talk show appearances, but added that, "Everyone had the same information. ... I have to say I know there's been a lot of attention paid to who said what but I think what happened is more important. We were attacked and four brave Americans were killed. Everyone in the administration has tried to say what we knew at the time with the caveat that we would learn more and that's what happened. So I think that I've seen it before not just in respect to this. I think it's part of what the 'fog of war' causes."

Over time, the Obama administration changed its characterization of the attacks, calling it a planned terrorist assault - fueling Republican charges of a political cover-up.

On "Face the Nation" last Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said of the Obama administration: "Either they are misleading the American public, or they are incredibly incompetent."

It came up again at last week's debate, when Vice President Joe Biden said, "At the time we were told exactly, we said exactly what the intelligence community told us that they knew. That was the assessment.

"And as the intelligence community changed their view, we made it clear they changed their view."

Clinton cautioned against making premature assumptions about the security situation at Benghazi as the investigation continues.

"I don't want us to reach any conclusions about what we did or didn't do without the full context. I understand why people want to ask questions, but I just caution that we need to look at everything, and everything needs to be explained at the same time," Clinton said. "

"We have 275 posts around the world. We have more than 60,000 people. We live in a dangerous, risky environment today in many places around the world, and we are constantly calculating - particularly led by our security professionals - about what needs to be done, where assets need to be."

Clinton has said the responsibility for diplomatic security ends with the State Department.

"I'm not going to get into the blame game," she told Brennan. "I think intelligence is very hard to do and what we're going to find out as we do this accountability review and we get what will be the best possible chronology, that will be attached to what we knew when, which takes time. I understand the, you know, the anxiety and the desire to try to get answers. Nobody wants to get answers more than I do."

Question by Scoomers: What do I have to do to not be considered "out of state"? I moved to Missouri about a month ago from Georgia and I'd like to start college sometime, it doesn't have to be soon though. I was wondering what I need to do to not be considered out of state? I know some details, but if someone has all, that'd be great. Thanks! Best answer for What do I have to do to not be considered "out of state"?:

Answer by little78lucky
live there and have a bill to prove it in your name for 6 months and you are now considered in state.

Answer by chuckles951
In most states you need to have graduated from high school in that state. Really, contact a local college and ask. Every state has different rules.

Answer by Libraryanna
It depends on the rules of the college. Go to the college website and look for residency requirements. It varies a lot. Some places are six months in the state, others are a year. Some immediately change if you buy a house, etc. So you need to see what the college requires.

Answer by Lawsklnow
STATE colleges/universities consider your eligibility for in-state tuition based on your "domiciliary state" of residence. What state you are from doesn't effect (usually) your tuition at PRIVATE college & universities. In your situation, your domicile would be the state in which you call home, establish residence & intend to remain or return to at some point. Many colleges have guidelines that require you to reside in the state for at least 10 consecutive months prior to your application to the school. Simply residing in the state does NOT, however, mean that you are domiciled there (so your mailing address doesn't carry much weight). You must also show that you have set up "roots" in the state. The most effective ways to do so are: 1) Rent/buy a house, apt., etc. 2) Register your car in the new state 3) Register to vote in your new state (big one) 4) Obtain a driver's license in your new state (sometimes required) 5) Establish bank accounts at local banks 6) File taxes in the new state (sometimes required) Hope that helps clarify the issue for you. Your best bet is to find the school you would like to attend & check their specific guidelines. Best of luck!
