McCain criticized Obama for leaking national secrets in order to be re-elected. Senator McCain criticized Obama on June 4 and 5, accusing him of deliberately leaking national security secrets such as the U.S.'s cyber attack on Iran's nuclear facilities for "selfish" political purposes. In response, senior U.S. officials responded on the 6th that the FBI had intervened in the investigation, citing this source. Comprehensive media reported on the 6th that after the details of the Obama administration's cyber attack on Iran's nuclear facilities were exposed, Republican Senator John McCain of the state issued a harsh joint statement on the 6th, criticizing Obama's political ambitions of seeking re-election at the expense of U.S. national security. At the same time, he warned that the White House's behavior of leaking national secrets would lead to very serious consequences. This plan was code-named "Olympic Games" and was launched around 2006 when George W. Bush was in office. After taking office, Obama ordered to accelerate the plan and launch more complex cyber attacks against Iran. McCain, who has always been known as a big mouth, said in an interview on the 6th that the highest-level confidential information in the United States has been leaked by the White House. On the 5th, he also cited other leaks, such as the recent report that Obama has a "death list" of terrorists and the details of the government's detention and interrogation of terrorist suspects in the new book of "Newsweek" special correspondent Dan Clayderman. McCain believes that these leaks seem to show that the authorities are "trying to portray President Obama as a strong leader on national security issues." Some analysts believe that as the US presidential election is approaching, the signal of releasing the Obama administration and the "Stuxnet" virus may also be intended to enhance Obama's image and offset Republicans' accusations that Obama has been "too weak." Regarding McCain's accusation, White House spokesman Carney said on the 6th, "Any suggestion that this administration authorized the leaking of confidential information for political gain is extremely irresponsible." "The Obama Administration has taken all appropriate and necessary steps to prevent the disclosure of classified or sensitive information." " Since the Obama administration came to power, there have been many leaks. For example, in 2010, American soldier Manning leaked tens of thousands of secret documents about the war in Afghanistan to WikiLeaks, which became the largest military intelligence leak in U.S. history. In 2011, a former CIA agent leaked details of Bin Laden's death to reporters, which led to a man who helped the U.S. military find Bin Laden. A Pakistani doctor was sentenced to 33 years in prison. Last month, the United States uncovered an "underwear bomb" conspiracy, and confidential information such as a "double agent" who played a key role in it was also leaked.
