I don't consider Reuters a problem. "Embattled" is a pretty accurate depiction of HRC's position at the moment. It has nothing to do with whether or not she deserves the scrutiny; it's just an observation that she is having to marshal her forces to combat the questions and accusations flying around her head. Suggesting that someone is surrounded by the "enemy" (per the definition of the word) isn't a slur.
