What was the CIA up to?

In this article from the New York Times, posted last thursday, it was announced that American citizens will finally be able to know what the CIA did under the Bush administration. It has become almost common knowledge that the CIA allowed some morally questionable practices in interrogations, especially in the name of counterterrorism. Additionally, Obama has publicly spoken out in opposition to these practices since 2009, and has advocated for them to be made public, so there is no question about what happens now that there is senate approval.

After Obama approves the publication of the documents, they will have to be edited per the guidelines of the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts, so as to not give away any trade secrets or military information. Reading this article, I was unclear as to whom will be doing the editing, but it seems like that will be a duty of the CIA. If so, then I would like to point out how horrible of an idea that is; even if most of those who took part in these activities are gone, CIA employees are not going to want to discredit their organization. While I see the dangers in letting non-CIA employees read the documents, there is a very high possibility that things will be removed that should be revealed to the general public. If the CIA is not responsible for editing the 6,200 pages of secrets, it will be more complete, but that would take months to shift through. Releasing this information is a great idea, but the release itself is going to be tricky.
