Why did the fact that Hillary disagreed with her own stance on torture get almost no coverage?

Advertisements [?]

Yesterday I saw this on CNN regarding Hillary disagreeing with her husband on the torture question:

"And perhaps it obscured the fact that Senator Clinton now seems not only to disagree with her husband on the use of torture, but with herself. Last year, she was quoted in the daily news that under certain conditions, the president could OK torture, but her camp told us today after talking with experts she has determined torture should not be part of American policy."

Who really believes that a "talk with experts" made her change her mind?
