Where empires go to die
This may have been brought up in the "illuminating journalism" thread but I think this merits its own discussion.
"A confidential trove of government documents obtained by The Washington Post reveals that senior U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign, making rosy pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable."
18 years of lies, $1 trillion down the drain, over 2000 US combat deaths and 20,000 wounded.
