Doing that by having yet another organization decide what you should see and what you shouldn't seems to go against their own philosophy.
You release everything, you're releasing information that you don't want your allies or enemies to see.

There are reasons why you filter, because they do a great deal of harm in terms of building trust and securing international agreements if internal chatter is revealed like it has been in this case.
