Two Months After U.S. Invaded Afghanistan, Donald Rumsfeld Asked What Languages Are Spoken There

Two Months After U.S. Invaded Afghanistan, Donald Rumsfeld Asked What Languages Are Spoken There

The “Languages” memo is part of a roughly 900-page tranche of Rumsfeld’s memos released after a five-year Freedom of Information Act fight by the National Security Archive. Following a FOIA lawsuit filed by the archive, the government agreed to release a total of roughly 59,000 pages of memos in monthly tranches. The first group of memos contains many of Rumsfeld’s notorious short internal memoranda, known colloquially as “snowflakes,” which were written in the months before and after the September 11 attacks.
