I just noticed that the introduction to the Cao-Zhu paper on the 
Hamilton-Perelman attack on the geometrization conjecture, about which Joe 
Shipman asked not long ago, is now available.

It gives some indication of where the authors found "difficulties in 
understanding Perelman's arguments."  In general, the tone is much more 
modest than that of some other mathematicians that have made statements in 
the press releases.
