Here’s a little light reading for your summer doldrums: The 9-11 Commission Final Report. Available as a 7MB, 585 page .pdf file of the full report; a 344kb, 31-page .pdf of the executive summary; or 23 separate .pdf files, broken down by section.
Jason Kottke has also posted an HTML version of the executive summary.
