White House Leaks: Eric Holder Appoints 2 Prosecutors To Lead Investigation By PETE YOST 06/09/12 07:43 AM ET
WASHINGTON -- Two U.S. attorneys are taking over separate FBI investigations into leaks of national security information that critics have accused the White House of orchestrating to improve President Barack Obama's re-election chances, a claim Obama calls "offensive" and "wrong."
Recent news articles contained details of U.S. involvement in a partially successful computer virus attack on Iran's nuclear program and on the selection of targets for counterterrorism assassination plots. The leaked information generally painted Obama as a decisive and hands-on commander in chief.
"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. It's wrong," Obama told reporters at a news conference Friday. "And people I think need to have a better sense of how I approach this office and how the people around me here approach this office."......................>>>>..........................>>>>.........................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/08/white-house-leaks-eric-ho_n_1582536.html
