On Friday, President Obama denounced as "offensive" and "wrong" allegations that he was behind the leaks of U.S. cyber attacks on Iran and the terrorist "kill list," while Attorney General Eric Holder announced he was assigning two U.S. attorneys to investigate the classified security breach. Nevertheless, the usual suspect on right are continuing their drumbeat about the "Leaker-in-Chief" and calling for a special prosecutor. All of which would incredibly funny if it weren't so sad. After all, these same voices cheered when the Bush administration leaked bogus intelligence to sell the Iraq war, applauded the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame and circled the wagons to protect convicted felon Scooter Libby.
