Clinton denounces torture at rights gala

Hillary Clinton says she's proud to have been part of an administration that "banned illegal renditions and brutal interrogations" and that the US should never be involved in torture anywhere in the world.

Clinton spoke about the importance of the nation acting in accordance with its values after receiving an award from The Robert F Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights at a gala in New York.

"Today we can say again in a loud and clear voice that the United States should never condone or practice torture anywhere in the world," Clinton told the audience.

"That should be absolutely clear as a matter of both policy and law, including our international treaty obligations."

The remarks marked Clinton's first on the subject since the release of a Senate report last week investigating the CIA's interrogation techniques after 9/11.

The report has sparked questions about the appropriate use of force in the war against terrorism.

Clinton said that recent world events, including the mass murder of children in Pakistan and the siege in Sydney, "should steel our resolve and underscore that our values are what set us apart from our adversaries".

Clinton said Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968, would agree that it's "possible to keep us safe from terrorism and reduce crime and violence without relying on torture abroad or unnecessary force or excessive incarceration at home".

Clinton, a former first lady, New York senator and US Secretary of State, is considering another run for president and is viewed as the likely Democratic nominee if she runs.

She was honoured at the Kennedy organisation's star-studded Ripple of Hope Award ceremony.

Democrats support Hillary Clinton, and a primary challenge: poll

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J., Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Democrats support Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, but they want to give her a fight before giving her the nomination.

A new Monmouth University poll found nearly half of respondents named the former secretary of State when asked to name their top choice for the party's nomination.

But the same number -- 48 percent -- said they also thought it would be better if she faced challengers in the primary, including 53 percent of those who say they support her. Forty-three percent preferred the party coalesce behind a single candidate, Clinton, early in the process.

"When nearly half of Democratic voters volunteer the name Hillary Clinton as their choice for 2016, it's hard to deny that she is the clear front runner," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. "At the same, time Democrats do not want to the nomination process to be a coronation."

In the poll, no other candidate even broke double-digits. Popular progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was named by 6 percent of those polled, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Vice President Joe Biden, both with 2 percent.

Thirty-two percent, however, said they were undecided.

Of those polled, 82 percent said they had a favorable opinion of Clinton, compared to just 11 percent who viewed her unfavorably.

Support for Clinton was slightly lower in the Monmouth poll than in most others released in recent weeks. In surveys from McClatchy/Marist, CNN, Quinnipiac, Rasmussen and ABC/Washington Post released since October, support for Clinton ranged from 57 percent to 65 percent.

Hillary Clinton Early Leader in Presidential Race: Poll

Call Hillary Clinton the early presidential frontrunner - but barely.

That's the result from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which finds that half of American voters - 50 percent - saying they could see themselves supporting her if she runs for the White House in 2016, while 48 percent oppose her.

Although that margin of support is small, it stands in sharp contrast to the numbers for well-known Republicans, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who announced on Tuesday that he's "actively" exploring a presidential bid.

More than a year before the first votes will be cast:

Despite these numbers - which could certainly change as the presidential field becomes clearer - Clinton is far from a lock on the presidency.

A whopping 71 percent of American voters want the next president to take a different approach than President Barack Obama's; Clinton served as his first-term secretary of state.

And by 40 percent to 38 percent, voters prefer a Republican to win the White House in 2016 instead of a Democrat.

"This is an electorate -by a large margin - looking for change," says Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his colleagues at Hart Research Associates.

Breaking down the Democratic and Republican fields

Still, Clinton has a substantial lead among Democratic voters - 82 percent say they could see themselves supporting if she runs, versus 15 percent who can't.
