US Politics Video: Clinton Denounces "Disrespectful, Disgraceful" Burn-a-Koran Day

Speaking at an Iftar, the nightly meal breaking the Ramadan fast, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced the plans of a small Florida church to hold "Burn a Koran Day": "I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths, from evangelical Christians to Jewish rabbis, as well as secular US leaders and opinion-makers."

Clinton's intervention follows statements by General David Petraeus, the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, and the US Embassy in Kabul.
