It is written so broadly that if you were visiting in Arizona and you had an accent and you were a citizen from my state of New York, you could be subjected to the kind of inquiry that ... this law permits," she told NBC's "Meet the Press." Asked whether the law invites racial profiling, she said: "I don't think there's any doubt about that."

Secretary Clinton told reporters Thursday, according to the Associated Press, that the Iranian President would not be permitted to cause a disturbance at the conference, but Cornyn, in his letter that he is circulating to colleagues for signature, says Ahmadinejad should not be granted entry under any circumstances. "The mission of those of us going to New York to review, revise and reinvigorate the NPT regime is very clear. If that's not his mission, then it won't be a particularly useful or productive trip on his part," Clinton said. "If he believes that by coming he can somehow divert attention from this very important global effort or cause confusion that might possibly throw into doubt what Iran has been up to ... then I don't believe he will have a particularly receptive audience," the secretary said.

On Meet The Press, Clinton said that Arizona's law "is clearly a result of the frustration that people in Arizona and their elected officials feel about the difficulty of enforcing the law along our border." But she added that "it is written so broadly" that she doesn't "think there's any doubt" that the law will invite racial profiling.

Hillary Clinton confident health care reform will pass

Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press", Clinton says the main reason she's so convinced is that unlike during the 1990s, more Americans recognize there is a problem.

"I think that the time has come. I think this president is committed to it. I think the leadership in Congress understands we have to do something and I think we'll get it done,” said Clinton.

In the message, Secretary Clinton said: “As a native Chicagoan, it’s a pleasure to address you in support of the city’s bid for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. If Chicago is selected the 2016 Host City, I want to tell you that the United States will welcome the world with open arms. Indeed, the Games offer an important opportunity for the world to celebrate the common aspirations of all people and to show our universal appreciation of the skill and talent of the world’s greatest athletes.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday it was a "great regret" the United States was not yet a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

The United States signed the ICC treaty when Hillary's husband, Bill Clinton, was president, but it was never ratified by Congress. Clinton's successor George W. Bush later rejected the idea of joining the court.

"This is a great regret that we are not a signatory," she said at a public meeting in Nairobi.

"I think we could have worked out some of the challenges that are raised concerning our membership," Clinton said. "But that has not yet come to pass."

The foreign minister and I also discussed Iran. We share Israel’s concerns about Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and its continued financing of terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. As we conduct our policy review and consider areas where we might be able to productively engage with Iran, we will stay in very close consultation with our friends here in Israel, with the neighbors of Iran in the region and beyond with those countries that understand what a threat Iran poses today, and what a greater threat it would pose were it ever to be successful in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
