Appendices.
Prediction: The political battle over the next two years will be over how much of this report will be implemented. The White House will want to be as piecemeal as possible. The Democratic Congress -- the 9/11 Commission (has Lee Hamilton become the Forrest Gump of foreign policy commissions?) -- will want to maximize its recommendations.
Let's see how this plays out.
UPDATE: Many thanks to venerable RT Commenter Bill "Always-Opinionated-But-Never-In-Doubt" Barker for helping out the beleagured host of this site by diligently reading through the ISG report, posting excerpts in the Comments thread -- thus initiating a good conversation.
