This is strange. I agree they should do this, but I wonder why they are making this stuff public.
On top of this, it makes me wonder what kind of things will still be classified.
They are making their "transgressions" public because they no longer matter. CIA cases are like milk. They have expiration dates. After a certain point, a case can go into the files. Just like milk gets thrown out. Then it's forgotten for a while. After further time, it can be made public. That is only after they are sure loose ends are tied, and the case is fully closed. No holes.

I was on a site once, that had cases the CIA had let out years ago. Many of them were marked confidential, but all had been called trash. However, these dead cases should not be let out to the public. They make us question even further, what the CIA does. I have no objections to how they handle things, but others do. We can not doubt our goverment, when doing so weakens the country. Telling us about things that should be kept in the shadows is doing just that.
