Working Group Files
The group's files document 320 alleged incidents that were substantiated by United States Army investigators — not including the 1968 My Lai Massacre. The documents are housed by the United States National Archives and Records Administration and were declassified in the mid 1990s. Journalists such as Nick Turse and Deborah Nelson have written about the files, using them to show that atrocities were more extensive than had been officially acknowledged.

Famous quotes containing the words working, group and/or files:
“Boredom and fear keep us working and obeying the laws.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The good husband finds method as efficient in the packing of fire-wood in a shed, or in the harvesting of fruits in the cellar, as in Peninsular campaigns or the files of the Department of State.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
