PDF: Iraq Study Group Report
Government reports aren’t typically considered popular reading material, much less as best sellers. Occasionally one comes along that, due to its highly newsworthy and/or controversial subject matter, breaks through as a bona fide literary ‘hit.’ The latest example is probably the 9/11 Commission Report following the 2001 terrorist attacks, which sold more than a million printed copies–even though it was also freely available online in PDF.
Today’s release of the Iraq Study Group Report won’t likely reach those types of numbers, but will be a popular download for political junkies eager to read the full assessment of the war in Iraq–concluding that a change in the focus of U.S. military operations there is needed–by a blue-ribbon panel.
If you’re among those who are eager to get your hands on it, you can purchase a printed version or snag a free, no-frills copy [PDF: 1.3MB] from a number of websites.
