the extant leaked chapters and other documents and records that give us a damning if partial picture of the whole. I'm glad that Professor Stiglitz and so many other individuals and organizations chose not take such an approach.

I think it's shortsighted not to avail yourself of the information that's available but... a chaque son gout.

As for reading it, it will be thousands of dense pages. You'll need expert analysis from sources without a vested interest in passing it and guides to the language used, in order to make heads or tails of it. You can, right now, read the tpa and analysis of it.

I sincerely hope you don't get the chance to read it via passage of TPA. Of course, that's not needed to release the draft which is nearly completed or those portions that are completed. President Obama would merely have to remove its National Security highly classified status and release it.
