Does a President have any restrictions on what kind of information he may declassify? I mean, what if a President during the Cold War had decided to declassify the identities of a number of top agents responsible for spying on the Soviets? Would that be totally legal as well?
I am obviously not comparing that kind of situation to housewife Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson's temper tantrum, but we all know that lefties would see them as the same. It just seems kind of unusual that a President would be able to declassify ANYTHING he wanted.
The president can declassify anything he wants, he is the classifying authority.
