VnnNews - The Foreign Relations Committee of the US Senate has recently made public more than 1,000 pages of documents relating to the Vietnam War.
The documents, used to be rated the top confidential as it consisted of testimony and transcripts classified from 1967 and 1968, showed the political, social and moral cross-currents that members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had at a time when the Vietnam War affected their thinking on foreign and domestic issues.
The documents revealed that at the climax of the Vietnam War, senators grumbled about White House arrogance, got upset with their own ineffectiveness and criticised misleading information provided by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration.
The confidential papers also disclosed that the senators used to discuss the potential damage of telling the American people the truth about the war in Vietnam.
