Sen. John McCain is pressing the case for a special outside counsel over recent White House security leaks, even as President Barack Obama says it is “offensive” and “wrong” to claim his White House would deliberately leak sensitive information for political gain.
The president says his administration has “zero tolerance” for the leaking of sensitive information. He says he has sought investigations of security leaks in the past and will continue to do so.
McCain, on Fox News’ Sean Hannity program, accused the Obama White House of leaking the information to bolster the president's standing on national security in an election year.
Lawmakers have raised alarms following media reports on White House policy on the highly classified targeting of al-Qaida militants by drones and raids and the deploying of a cyber weapon.

darn... sad when the citizens of the free world do not have trust in our own gov't officials.
Yea, well then do something about the renegades you have running your office. Unless the NY Times has a bug in the Oval office they are getting their information from somebody within the administration. another great reason to change management and clean the leaker's out. Release of this information is no less a security risk then what the guy who leaked info to Wiki Leaks did and should be prosecuted.
