Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support

So, apparently, back on June 30, to little fanfare, the Pentagon released its Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support. Today's Washington Post has an article about it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...70501669.html?

The Post details all the interesting things its reporter thinks are found in this document, such as the notion that while "[t]he document does not ask for new legal authority to use military forces on U.S. soil, ... it raises the likelihood that U.S. combat troops will take action in the event that civilian and National Guard forces are overwhelmed."

The link above takes you to Bradley Graham's article on the Post website. There, besides his analysis, you can find "Featured Advertiser Links" such as "NASCAR Tickets on Sale Now" and "Find Loans at LendingTree.com". You can also find links to "Today in Slate" and the new HP computers and a $299 desktop from Dell. Also links to the Post's most viewed articles, its sports and news coverage, and a bunch more advertisements.

Apparently, with all those links, they couldn't fit in room for this one:

The actual report (1.2 mB, 46-page PDF).

God forbid someone might want to actually read for themselves, rather than take the Post's word for what is important in it.
