#1 In my job, the deliverable is the written report. If I make the report too long and detailed, the client will be overwhelmed and will not benefit. If I make it too short, the client will lack some important basic background and will suffer for it. I'm sure it works exactly the same way at the FBI and the CIA. I'm not perfect. They're not perfect. We are talking about fine judgements that were made four years ago and more without benefit of 9/11 for perspective. Can't we just all move along?

#4 I've found that when writing reports, policy papers, etc for politicians, it's best to keep it really simple with few big words and small bite-sized concepts
