Clinton backs ban on flag burning

Hillary, that is.

December 5, 2005 -- WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has quietly signed on to a Republican measure that makes it illegal to desecrate the American flag -- a move that will boost her credibility in the conservative "red" states.

Clinton is the sole co-sponsor of Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett's new legislation that outlaws flag-trashing without addressing the issue of a Constitutional amendment to ban it.
