Generally, Crossfit Olifting is about as close to Olifting as Tae-Bo is to Kickboxing.

Spot on there Jamie.
There are some good ideas embedded in some Crossfit workouts, but the WODs up on the site do not make logical programming.
It's the kool-aid drinkers and Glassman's stupid claims of world class athletes succeeding because of Crossfit (hasn't named one yet that got there through Xfit), 700lb DLs (yet to be documented) that get them in trouble.
Anyone interested in this style would be much better off (IMO) checking out Jon Hind's workouts at Monkey Bar gym, the Mtn Athlete site, or Twight's Gym Jones.
