Sen. Marco Rubio is dredging back up the issue of intelligence leaks by the White House, claiming recent disclosures by the administration on possible counterstrikes against terror targets in Libya could end up endangering those operations. 

Amid numerous Republican demands for information from the White House over the Benghazi attack, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is also seeking answers from the Obama administration over the security failures in Libya.

Lieberman, who announced his Senate Homeland Security investigation into the attack last week, sent letters Friday to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper requesting documents and briefings relating to the Benghazi attack and diplomatic security.

In announcing the investigation last week, Lieberman touted it as a “bipartisan inquiry” supported by both him and ranking member Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Less than a day after the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead, CIA analysts linked the raid to militant groups in the country. 

The Pentagon is pushing back against claims by a top House lawmaker that the Department of Defense is leaving U.S. forces in Afghanistan shorthanded by scrubbing deployments of a critical weapon system into the country. 

Issa sent a letter to the White House demanding to know why the security presence in Libya was toned down

A liberal national security group will run a new ad about the consequences of a potential war with Iran on CNN before and after Monday’s foreign policy debate.

The ad from the Truman National Security Project questions the cost of a war with Iran and the lack of an exit strategy.

“There’s a lotta guys on TV talking about a war with Iran, and nobody can tell me how this ends,” a veteran says as pictures of former Vice President Dick Cheney and John Bolton, who served as Ambassador to the United Nations in the George W. Bush administration, flash in the background.

The Washington Post reports that the CIA is seeking to expand its drone fleet as it seeks to expand its campaign into North Africa.

Citing unnamed U.S. officials, the Post says that the CIA’s proposal would add as many as 10 drones to its fleet of between 30 and 35. 

The drones would help the agency sustain its lethal strikes in Pakistan and Yemen and expand into areas of North Africa, where there are concerns about a rising presence of groups tied to al Qaeda.

“With what happened in Libya, we’re realizing that these places are going to heat up,” one official said, in reference to the attack last month on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
