You can mislead and shape narrative with editorialized releases. It's the goal of most propaganda efforts to only use true statements. I find it troubling that people conclude they're "beyond reproach" just because the facts are true. That doesn't make them non-biased, mean they're not intending to distract or mislead, say anything about their framing, analysis, or editorial content, etc. Like here: a suspiciously timed leak of sensitive US documents which largely seem to be intended to scare and distract, not show legitimate wrong-doing.

Misleading implies falsehood of some sort, but they're releasing the actual paperwork absent anything other than an introductory statement about the collection of as a whole, which does not equate to "framing, analysis, or editorial content" in my mind. Negligence counts as wrong-doing to me. The leaks prove that the CIA has lost control of their malware cache. And on the positive side, it gives the affected parties the means to patch their code.
