The investigation was launched in 2014 and concluded in 2016.

Key Findings of the Blowback 11 Investigation

The Blowback 11 investigation found that the U.S. government had made a number of false claims about the progress of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These claims included:

• That the wars were being won.
• That the U.S. was making progress in building stable and democratic governments in Afghanistan and Iraq.
• That the wars were not costing the U.S. taxpayer as much as they actually were.

The investigation also found that the U.S. government had deliberately covered up evidence that contradicted these claims. For example, the investigation found that the U.S. government had:

• Suppressed intelligence reports that showed that the wars were not being won.
• Manipulated data to make it appear that the U.S. was making progress in building stable and democratic governments in Afghanistan and Iraq.
• Lied to Congress about the cost of the wars.

Implications of the Blowback 11 Investigation

The Blowback 11 investigation has a number of implications for U.S. national security policy. First, the investigation shows that the U.S. government cannot be trusted to tell the truth about the wars it wages. This is a serious problem, as it makes it difficult for the American people to make informed decisions about whether or not to support these wars.

Second, the investigation shows that the U.S. government is willing to go to great lengths to cover up its mistakes. This is also a serious problem, as it means that the American people are not likely to get the truth about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This could lead to public cynicism and a loss of trust in the government.

Third, the investigation shows that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have been a disaster for the United States. These wars have cost the U.S. trillions of dollars and have resulted in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and civilians. They have also destabilized the Middle East and created a breeding ground for terrorism.

The Blowback 11 investigation is a damning indictment of the U.S. government's handling of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The investigation shows that the U.S. government lied to the American people about the progress of these wars and that it deliberately covered up evidence that contradicted its claims. The implications of the investigation are serious and include a loss of trust in the government, public cynicism, and a destabilized Middle East.
