The redacted parts in the documents have codes, e.g.:

(b)(1) (b)(3) NatSecAct

What are those codes refering to?

Are only names redacted?

For you who have trouble searching, here's a document I just stumbled on while browsing through the content: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/0006541525.pdf

It is about interrogation techniques used by USA (power drills were mentioned). Scary stuff.

I wonder, if you train a machine with content from major (all?) news sites, could it then, in theory, predict what was redacted to some degree?

I have an itch to scrape this content. Maybe I shouldn't.

They are codes for FOIA exemptions. http://www.foiadvocates.com/exemptions.html
