Hi Tessa – A lot of the documents from your TAB requests have already been released by the NDIA for other peoples requests.
I’ve popped the link to the requests for each one below so that you don’t have to wait for the NDIA to get back to you (they can be quite slow).
If you open the link and then click "Show all attachments” you should be able to find the right documents using the names I’ve listed :)
You can find 6/11 documents here:
