I admire the sentiment, but it is still necessary to redact names, especially if, say, FBI is still milking some of those people for more information to find more perps. If evidence is found to convict the people whose names have been redacted, then their names will become public.
Innocent until proven guilty, and even if all the redactions may not be innocent, we cannot go ahead and publish all of the names, because some of them ARE innocent, or have experienced a change of heart, as in: they blew the whistle. There will be whistleblower names in there, who MUST be protected.
