true.
but, his press secretary publically said days later that it was officially declassified that day (around 10 days later)... and there is a process for declassification, which was not done in this instance (which is specifically important b/c it left ALL of the top members of cabinet in the dark about this "declassification" from cheney to libby.

this is closer to a leak than a declassification
