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.
There is going to be a statement on this in about 10 minutes. He he indeed :)
"My daddy's famous, my mommy's a secret spy,"
nuff said, sorry that kid is going to grow up with issues.
And I just watched a gentleman on Fox News state there was such a small group of people with this information, the leaker should be fairly easy to discover. hehe
I was watching too, and I heard someone earlier say the same thing. I hope Gonzales has already put those very few NSA/CIA insiders who knew about this project on notice.
There's no way New York Times reporter James Risen can claim he got the information from a whistleblower. I mean, how would he explain holding it for months, until his book was ready for publication? Doesn't pass the "make sense" test. But that's what MSM defenders are already claiming, that a courageous whistleblower leaked. BULLHOCKEYDOODOO!
And the NYT BIG lie, that they got the information from many sources is ridiculous, just them playing CYA.
Who else?
No kidding. Are there just a bunch of Reuters reporters that just hang out at the airport terminal, waiting for someone to interview?
