Well, right, but the president is the comander in chief. If he wants the change that to "Top Secret - No Forigen, except Prince Bandar" he can. We can argue about the wisdom of doing this, but he doesn't need to get permission from anyone to do this (who would he get permission from anyway?)
Now if the assertion is that Cheney did this without the president's knowledge, that would be a different story. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
