CIA couple outed by 5-year-old son

The Washington couple at the heart of the CIA leak investigation had their cover blown by their small son as they tried to sneak away on vacation on Thursday.

"My daddy's famous, my mommy's a secret spy," declared the 5-year-old of his parents, former diplomat Joe Wilson and retired CIA operative Valerie Plame.

The former spy, who just retired from the agency, and the diplomat have been at the center of a CIA leak scandal that has reached into the White House.

They said they were headed to an undisclosed vacation location with their twins but stopped for a brief interview inside the airport terminal.

A special prosecutor has indicted Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, for lying in the investigation and has opened a second grand jury.

Plame's cover at the CIA was blown after her husband accused the Bush administration of twisting prewar intelligence to support military action against Iraq. Wilson said it was deliberately intended to undercut his credibility.

Wilson said he does not know how the current investigation was progressing and has only spoken to the special prosecutor twice, most recently in late September.

Plame would not be interviewed and stood out of hearing distance with the other twin.

Wilson said his wife's retirement allows her to spend more time with the soon to be 6-year-olds. "She enjoyed her career there," Wilson said of the CIA.

Am I wrong, or do they have twin DAUGHTERS? They would be around 5 or 6 now. I'd be willing to bet this was scooped from a parody website just like the comments in the LA Slimes about the wolves.

No their twins are a boy and a girl....Rumor has it that they are moving to California, near Santa Barbara. Surprised they aren't moving to San Fran to live in the same complex where Al and Tipper bought a condo.

The kid would have been more on target if he'd said, "My daddy's a moron and my mommy's even dumber!"

Our son told everyone at school his dad was an US astronaut.

Some believed him.

This article has less than zero news value and never should have been published. This is simply one media whore who's fading into well-deserved oblivion trying to use one of his favorite MSM butt-boys to keep his "15 minutes" going a little longer.....

Have you ever seen such a creepy, crawly couple in all your life ? It should be clear to everyone by now that they have been "outting" themselves for years.
