The CIA officials who decide which secrets can be revealed have wrestled with Congress, archivists, journalists, former CIA employees and even a former CIA director. Wyden said he worries the CIA is playing "stall ball," deliberately drawing out the declassification process. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Obama has backed the declassification. But the White House has said the CIA will lead that process. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
