Ryan Pulling a Romney in New Attack on Obama?

And now, foreign policy expert Paul Ryan is entering the arena, despite--or because?--or today's negative fallout over his running mate's misstep on Libya.   Note:  Obama team and others have long blamed Pakistan for these leaks.

Representative Paul Ryan accused the White House on Wednesday of leaking information that led to a 33-year prison sentence for a Pakistani doctor who helped American intelligence locate Osama bin Laden.

Dr. Shakil Afridi was found guilty of treason in May by a tribal court following his arrest after the raid by Navy SEALs last year that killed Bin Laden. American officials, who said Dr. Afridi used the cover of a vaccination clinic to seek DNA samples from the Bin Laden family in Abbottabad, have insisted that Pakistani officials leaked his identity, not Americans. Nonetheless, Mr. Ryan laid the responsibility on the Obama administration.

“Let me be careful in my words but be really clear,’’ Mr. Ryan said here in response to an audience question about Dr. Afridi during a town-hall-style event. “These leaks on national security coming from the White House undermine the men and women who put risks on their lives for us.’’
