Hillary Clinton Tells Diane Sawyer That Benghazi Crisis is 'More Reason to Run' for President (Video)

Hillary Clinton addressed a wide range of topics during her sit-down with Diane Sawyer, from international crises to presidential plans.

During the in-depth interview that aired on ABC'sprimetime special Hillary Clinton: Public and Private One on One with Diane Sawyer on Monday night, the former secretary of state discussed her timeline for deciding if she will run for president in 2016, the ongoing impact of the crisis in Benghazi, Libya, and Monica Lewinsky being back in the public eye.

Clinton admitted that the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woodsin Benghazi still weigh heavily on her heart.

"The hardest thing was to think about Sean Smith and Chris Stevens trapped," she said of the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in 2012.

"I would give anything on earth if this had not happened. I am also clear in my own mind that we had a system. I take that responsibility, but I was not making security decisions.And I certainly would wish that we had made some of the changes that came to our attention to make as a result of the investigation. But I also am clear in my own mind that we had a system, and that system, of course, ended with me," she said.

When asked if this is the "cost of doing business," she replied: "We have to be thoughtful about where we send peopleand how we keep them protected."

After two years and 13 hearings on the topic, the debate rages on, and there will be another investigation ofBenghazi and Clinton. She said she doesn't know yet whether she will testify, but when asked if the situation was a reason not to run for president, she said it was more of an incentive.

"Actually, it's more of a reason to run, because I do not believe our great country should be playing minor-league ball. We ought to be in the majors," she said. "I view this as really apart from -- even a diversion from -- the hard work that the Congress should be doing about the problems facing our country and the world."

Clinton: Fixing gender gap requires all the 'facts and figures'

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- As she positions herself for a potential presidential run in 2016, Hillary Clinton sought to shine her spotlight Monday on one of her longtime goals: narrowing the gender gap around the world through the use of data.

The former Secretary of State spoke briefly Monday at an event with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to give a progress report on their joint 2012 initiative known as "data2x" -- an effort intended to spark "a gender data revolution" -- which is a partnership of the Clinton Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the United Nations Foundation.

Clinton noted that her quest to improve the data about the status of women around the world stemmed from her years as Secretary of State when she would try to broach those topics with other world leaders, who would "smile and nod" but often not take the topic seriously.

"You can't understand what the problem is if you don't have a good grasp of what the facts and figures are," Clinton said. At the State Department, she learned, she said, that she could not rely solely on the moral argument that women's rights should be considered human rights.

Clinton said she wanted to use to data to build a case strong enough "to convince the skeptics, based on hard data and clear-eyed analysis, that creating opportunities for women and girls across the world directly supports everyone's security and prosperity, and therefore should be an enduring part of our diplomacy and development work."

"After all, good decisions in government, in business, in life, are based on evidence rather than ideology or gut feelings or anecdotes," Clinton said.

The former Secretary of State did not address other topics in the news Monday -- namely last week's release of a Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA's use of torture as part of its interrogation practices during the presidency of George W. Bush. (President Obama banned the use of those techniques after taking office in 2009).
