There's also the temporal issue. Communications are classified, or not, after their creation. So we might add:

'My communications weren't classified at the time I made them.'

That's a distinction without a difference.

If you're in that intelligence community, you know exactly what is classified and what is not. I could imagine some information being so secretive it's not written down -- but instead passed verbally in person.

If a CIA agent has intelligence on an Israeli operation, it's classified, regardless of whether it was written down or not.
