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:
“You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in “the people.” One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women.... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“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)
