Snip: <By Tabassum Zakaria

HOUSTON (Reuters) - 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.>

1. I think it's someone's attempt to trivialize the Plame outing.
A bogus piece of journalism.

2. Good grief! It happened the other day
It happened after she left the CIA.

Don't get upset by this.

3. Yeah, not really a "claim."
That article was published last Thursday. The writer was being cutesy.

They usually literally grasp at straws. Heh heh. It is pathetic. Oh yes. I'm sure of that one. :eyes: If her neighbors, adults, didn't know what she did than I highly doubt five year old twins would. One guy on faux tried to claim Wilson told him in a green room at a station. :eyes:
