records have been declassified for public release. 16 years later 99.993% is classified , and the Pentagon has vowed to reclassify these records. This include Confidential Records that should have been released at the 15 year mark. They were not, and not at 20 years, 25 years, or 30 years. To protect private interest that profited from the war and protect government officials from over 44,000 mistakes made there. On February 14th 1999 I sent OSAGWI a FOIA asking for the bulk of its records names be declassified, and sent to me. I received a partial reply from General Vesser in a box with 2,877 pages, and two CD's. On the CD was the Structured database file and other part was a unstructured file. Again, only of the 42,943 files on the public server. In the Nov 5th1999 response letter from OSAGWI to me they explained they were processing the classified portion of the log sheets for me. That was the last I ever heard from them on paper concerning this FOIA. It remains mostly unanswered to this day OSAGWI database file of 42,943 files OSAGWI response to me concerning partial response to FOIA on the other 6,000,00 files. The Pentagon hides behind Executive Order 13292 so that the bulk of what happened in the Gulf remains hidden from the public. Except this is criminal intent to withhold information of neglect, misconduct, mishandling, and much worse during the Gulf War. The very same people who say nothing happened are the ones with full knowledge of those records, and vow to conceal them at all cost. The same people who lead us back to Iraq again under false terms, and created yet another disaster to live down.
November 21st, 2022 This is the redacted version, Congressional subcommittee can review the total version when they request it. So faces are blocked out and certain names blocked out. I still abide by the letter of the law even though technically statue of limitation on this has passed. The person who released it is dead. Most of these people are dead now. There are disclaimers that this is NOT to official policy or position of OSAGWI and yet it was circulated internally. What this is, this is a reflection of the work attitude towards the Gulf war, and what they were asked to do. To mock us and the war, to play it down, and insult as much as possible. 20 years later and its quite clear they meant this. No retraction, no apology, and complete indifference to releasing the rest of there files. All 6 million. Which I still stand by, if the war went well, why 30 years later have they only released 47,000 files? It was a fiasco they had to cover up. This document is a reflection of the American attitude towards the Gulf War, and how its been trivialized. Devalued. Its veterans left to suffer in silence while the wealthy profited from our deployment. In short, war crimes were committed, and Congress is too cowardly to go after the people that took advantage in all this. Global warm crimes that 30 years later are still being suppressed at the expense of the veterans who fought this war. Just like with Operation Iraqi Freedom, and 2 trillion in other frauds with the middle east over 30 years. There is so much more...............
