103. He's so dumb, he probably doesn't even know that the president

can only declassify info that has been classified by the Executive Branch. The identity of CIA agents was originally classified by Congress, hence, the President cannot declassify the identity of an agent.

My guess is that Cheney just went ahead and did it without the idiot realizing that he didn't even have the authority.
