National Security Archive Update, September 1, 2006
New State Department Releases on the "Future of Iraq"
Project
New Documents Provide Details on Budgets, Interagency Coordination
and Working Group Progress
Posting Includes State's 13-Volume Study Previously Released Under
FOIA
Washington, DC, 1 September 2006 - The National Security Archive is
today posting State Department documents from 2002 tracing the
inception of the "Future of Iraq Project," alongside the final,
mammoth 13-volume study, previously obtained under the Freedom of
Information Act. "The Future of Iraq Project" was one of the most
comprehensive U.S. government planning efforts for raising that
country out of the ashes of combat and establishing a functioning
democracy. The "Future of Iraq" study, released earlier this year
to the National Security Archive and other requesters under the
FOIA, remains the single most important documentary record for
understanding U.S. reconstruction planning.
The new materials complement previous postings on the Archive's
site relating to the United States' complex relationship with Iraq
during the years leading up to the 2003 invasion. The documents
posted today were culled from 124 documents released in full and 77
with excisions from State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. These
materials provide a behind-the-scenes look at the formation of 17
working groups consisting of "free" Iraqis and experts, 14 of which
met throughout 2002 and early 2003 to plan for a post-Saddam
Hussein Iraq.
