Not to be confused with Afghan War documents leak.
Internal documents about the US war in Afghanistan
The Afghanistan Papers are a set of interviews relating to the war in Afghanistan undertaken by the United States military prepared by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) that was published by The Washington Post in 2019 following a Freedom of Information Act request.[1][2][3] The documents reveal that high-ranking officials generally held the opinion that the war was unwinnable while keeping this view hidden from the public.[1][4][5][6] Due to the difficulty of creating objective metrics to demonstrate success, information was manipulated for the duration of the conflict.[7] NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro, comparing the documents with the Pentagon Papers, noted the revelation of what constituted "explicit and sustained efforts . . . to deliberately mislead the public."[4]
