Confidential documents reveal U.S. officials did not tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan and hid evidence that it had become unwinnable, The Washington Post reports.

The Post said it obtained more than 2,000 pages of documents through a Freedom of Information Act request made three years ago which sought to win access to the documents.
