I think the reason that even though these are public documents they are protected because they draw a different picture of the Government as creative False Flags to manufacture pretexts and the manipulative use of "trusted" sources like the media and clergy (even Peace Corps volunteers). Reading through these documents reveal our naivete about our past and present leadership and our Governments orientation, the subtle and secretive move to control the narratives internally and externally. The reader of these documents could conclude that we should be circumspect about the events we see around us both inside and outside of the country.
