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.

Sorry to interrupt the fun but...

"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."

Is this the first time he admitted to speaking with "Fitz"? I don't recall any prior confirmations of this.

"The narcissism and self-aggrandizement of this couple and their spawn are so puke provoking that it is surreal."

Well I actually feel for the kid, the infamous one had to cringe as his offspring exposed the family secrets. Given the public persona of famous Joe, that kid is still probably frog marching.

Yeah, pretend that she's so publicity shy. Just how did they happen to get interviewed at the airport?? This woman is a real creep for letting her husband go far and wide LYING regarding every aspect of the mission she sent him on, and if she wasn't in total cahoots with him she would have stepped forward years ago and corrected the record for the sake of the American people. Thank God she is gone from the CIA!

There are not too many "secrets" in this attention seeking family. Imagine ... arranging an interview while taking off for a secret vacation! What pathetically needy people. All of their efforts to make something of themselves has resulted in ... ol' Val gets to spend more time at home in her pajamas ... taking care of The Twins! LOLOLOLOL

Indict the whistleblowing brat immediately.

Naw...put him on Kerry's staff. It'll raise the intelligence level of Kerry's office immediately.

It's not a difficult track to trace, to figure out why there are so many stinking national security leaks, when we have had people such as Val and Joe on the government payroll.

This sentence just kills me. If there was any actual reporting going on, they would've found out where their plane was headed.

I can see it now:

Announcer: "Joe Wilson, you and your wife have created a newfound fame and fortune for yourselves with your bulls$$t story. Where are you going next?"

"Well Matt, this was supposed to be top secret, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!!!!!!!"

"I thought this had been in the news for more than 5 years."

What a noisy placenta.





Was that on the inside or outside?

so basically everyone who has come into contact with this kid since he could speak, knows about his "famous daddy" and "spy" mommy. All his teachers and clasmates and their famlies, extended famlies, their freinds, their beauticians, and all their clients, everyone in their neighborhood, etc etc etc etc etc....

If Joe was "outed" that might explain the look on his face at having a female in her pajamas in his house.
