CIA couple outed by 5-year-old son

HOUSTON (Reuters) - The Washington couple at the heart of the CIA leak investigationhad 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.



First of all - holy crap these two people have to have the biggest fucking egos in the world - to "stop for a brief interview inside the airport terminal... as they tried to sneak away on vacation on Thursday". Yeah right - I bet they really tried to "sneak away".

Second of all - holy CRAP these two idiots have SEVERE delusions of grandeur about themselves as evidenced by what their 5 year-old says about them.... which of COURSE he is repeating directly from THEIR own words what they tell him about Mommy and Daddy.

Third - WTF is with the outright LIES in red:

"Plame's cover at the CIA was {allegedly!} 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." And what about the fact that Wilson was UNQUALIFIED to get his position and only got it because of nepotism due to his wife recommending him!!??? Or that much of what Wilson said was proven wrong! Nothing like telling only HALF the story!

If Valerie Plame was a secret agent, then she must be a really lousy one because women in 3rd world countries reading gossip mags know who she is!

Those of us who pay little attention to the MSM know that Plame was "outed" back in the 80's / early 90's by a turncoat to the Soviets (Ames?) - she had been assigned to the WMD desk @ Langley for the past several years.

In addition, Wilson is the only "agent / operative / investigator" to ever not faced some sort of punitive action for failing to file a written report with the agency (which would have been damning evidence, since his verbal AAR acknowledged that Iraqi agents were looking into nuke materials); In addition, he never got official (and in advance) OK for his piece in the Times...

Anybody else would have been brought up on charges.

Add the fact that Plame was known in the Potomac social scene as "The CIA gal", and it's all BS...

They're probably just has-beens looking for a "last hurrah" with the leftist media while CIA employees who do real work laugh at them behind their backs. Can you imagine the jokes over at Langley right now? "So how's the secret life Agent Plame? Hey, you want to see my decoder ring?"
