On this site, you can also find a library of documents on the Iraq War that I have compiled, primarily on the basis of FOIA and mandatory declassification review requests. I also include a few documents that were not released to me personally but are difficult to find elsewhere. I hope that others studying the Iraq War will find this resource useful.
