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.
Classic case of media whoredom at it's best. Does Wilson ever think that he's a bit too much?
The 5 year old in question - BOB NOVAK
I'm assuming that this kid isn't a Republican, so I doubt he'll be indicted.
Lock Him Up! ! ! !
I guess Reuters as a source qualifies as a BARF alert. :-)
Wow, only 5 years old and already has Mommy's eyes...and Daddy's overhyped ego and narcissistic personality.
I'm sure Bush must be at fault here .... somehow.
Poor kid. The DUmmies are going to be calling for his head now, I guess.
What am I missing here? Is Reuters seriously printing this ridiculous story? Or is this some kind of joke like an article from The Onion? Or is Reuters just looking for another reason to rehash all this idiocy in the press again?
Am I going to be the first one to ask how junior figured out that daddy was a spy? When I was five I thought my dad was Batman.
This isn't from Scrappleface?
Karl Rove paid off the kid with a lollipop.
OK....riiiight.
Does. Not. Pass. Smell. Test.
Oh those whacky Rooters reporters!
I wonder why they never printed young Chelsea saying "my daddy's a pimp and my momma's a..."
Not. I would bet they suddenly are going to fall back on their usually strict interpretation of the 1st Amendment now that one of their Democrat Party Heros is in the bulls eye.
I thought this had been in the news for more than 5 years.
What a noisy placenta.
