"The Army task force, created after journalist Seymour Hersh exposed the 1968 My Lai massacre, served to give military brass and the White House early warning about potentially damaging revelations.
"The war crimes records were declassified in 1994 and moved to the National Archives in College Park, Md., where they went largely unnoticed.
"The Times examined most of the files before officials removed them from the public shelves, saying they contained personal information that was exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
"Other records were taken by Tufts in the 1970s and donated after his death to the University of Michigan.
"The two collections do not provide a complete accounting of prisoner abuse during the Vietnam War. They contain only cases reported to military authorities and flagged for special attention by the Army chief of staff's office or taken home by Tufts. But they represent the largest pool of such records to surface to date."

In the Los Angeles Times, Deborah Nelson and Columbia University's Nick Turse expose how US troops in Vietnam who reported torture were harassed by superiors.
