It has not been clarified as to whether the information was still classified when the leak happened or not.

It is a technicality to argue whether the info was "already" declassified or not, since the Pres has the power to declassify. I suppose you will argue that Bush is a cowboy, unilaterally declassifying information at will?

You might want to familiarize yourself with Bush's own executive order relative to the PROCESSES that are to be followed for the declassification of classified information. As you read and learn you will not find anything that says the President is authorized to unilaterally disclose classified information, making it automatically unclassified, or anything similar. Again there are procedures to be followed and again, my question simply was, were they followed or not? Very objective and not biased. Just keeping it real. No one has yet to show any evidence or rules to the contrary. For your reading enjoyment and enlightenment.
