Cheney Says He Can't Discuss CIA Leak Case Associated Press, Wednesday, February 15, 2006
"'It's nothing I can talk about,' Cheney said in an interview with Fox News Channel. 'I may well be called as a witness at some point in the case and it's, therefore, inappropriate for me to comment on any facet of the case.'...
"Cheney said there is an executive order that gives the vice president, along with the president, the authority to declassify information. But he said, 'I don't want to get into' whether he has ever done it on his own."
UPDATE: Atrios comments on the declassification issue.
