War on Terror Files

Full description

The project for which the data was collected was concerned with exposing the way in which the state exercises violence and institutes it through the law, so it appears to be a just, right execution of justice. Following a social justice agenda, the project seeks to demonstrate that it was an unjust execution of law.

The collection includes a large number of declassified Government documents from all branches of the US military, CIA and the FBI relating to the "War on Terror". The bulk of the materials are officially declassified, barring materials sourced from WikiLeaks. All materials are sourced from US sources (for example Reprieve and Democracy Now) except for those sourced from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (UK). The collection also includes related newspaper articles.

A bibliographic index to the materials has been maintained, comprising a useful resource in it's own right. The materials are kept in a variety of formats including PDF, hard copies, and links to the materials on the world wide web.
