From NYT: "The president has the legal power to declassify information, and Mr. Libby indicated in his testimony that the president's decision which he said was conveyed through Mr. Cheney gave him legal cover to pass on information contained in a National Intelligence Estimate." But I note that Fitzgerald's filing states that even after Libby was told the document was declassified, official word was that it was still classified when people wanted to see it.

This morning's WaPo says they didn't bother to tell National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley that it was declassified, leading him to waste time on moving to declassify it. Evidently the declassification itself was secret. Oh, the irony.
