On Friday, Attorney General Eric Holder appointed two U.S. attorneys to investigate leaks about details of drone attacks and special forces strikes. Critics have claimed that the White House disclosed the information to bolster the president’s re-election chances.

“The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive,” Obama told reporters during Friday press conference. “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.”

But Liz Cheney on Sunday insisted that the president himself could be the one behind the leaks.

“I’d like to see an independent investigation,” she told Fox News host Chris Wallace. “If you’ve got members of the national security team — which is what we know from reading [New York Times reporter] David Sanger’s piece, that’s what he says — giving him chapter and verse of what went on in these National Security Council meetings then somebody’s got to be held accountable for, you know, what is a betrayal to the nation.”

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Liz owes her very existence to a leak ...

from a defective condom.

4. If only we had a prior example of a leak

involving her father...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. On what basis is this given any credence?

He killed OBL. Leaking information about anything else for political purposes just seems kind of...........well, weak tea.

An undisclosed location, Liz. For the love of God. Just fucking stfu.

her daddy.

8. Return to the side of Darth Cheney, princess LizAH

You apparently have more of a role there in fixing leaks.

10. I assume this colossal hypocrisy went totally unchallenged by Wallace

11. Does it really matter?

Manipulation of the public forum is the mark of an unfree society with no transparency. Does it matter which individual is doing the deed? They were only following orders, after all.

12. F her, she's a sore loser. . .

. . .who is envious that Obama is succeeding in eliminating al Qaeda criminals where Daddy Darth Cheney failed.

[PatSeg]

13. The Cheneys are beyond comprehension

Given her father's history with leaks and national security, one would think she'd lay low on this subject. But that would assume that she is a rational person.

There is something seriously wrong with this family.

14. Did someone forget to tell Liz that her 15 minutes are up?

No one cares what she thinks or has to say. No one has ever really cared what she thinks or has to say. The Cheneys, Bushes, Romneys, and others like them have manipulated the system to get what they want. They lie, break the law, and then preach to the masses with double standards condemning some of the very things they've done.

If she wants an independent investigation, perhaps there should also be one into the Bush/Cheney years, and the wars the Bush and Cheney families directly profited from.

15. I Don't Know Why But I Think We'll Find That A Repug Or Repug Sympathizer Was Behind.....

these leaks. This sounds like a Rovian dirty trick to me. Make the leak and then turn it around and blame it on the Dems.

Does anyone else have the same suspicions?

16. A Cheney and Faux News. Such credible sources.
