histories of long-dormant conflicts and operations that he concluded were still being stored in secret years after they should have been shared with the public.
Ya, I'm trying to figure out what he thought would happen.
That sentence might be unclear, but there are laws and policies that govern how long certain operations can be kept secret once they are concluded. Since the CIA has since published 1400 of the 1700 documents, it seems he was mostly right.
Edit: this is clarified later. In the process, he said, he discovered about 1,600 articles that were listed as released to the public but could not be found at the National Archives.
