    How does it confirm what Grusch said was true? Seems like this is just the first step towards doing that, the real test being what the classified materials released as a result of this legislation actually say.

      It does not confirm what Grusch says is true.

      But it justifies itself by relying on the credibility of Grusch.

      Confirmation of truth will come when this legislation becomes law. (Then again, I am a layman, foreigner to the US and I’ve only skimmed the PDF so don’t rely on my quote!)

          I think there’s still a quite a lot of legislating left on the NDAA. The house version of the bill does not have this amendment. I think it has something with narrower scope that doesn’t create a review board.

          The Senate hasn’t adopted the Schumer bill into its NDAA. The text just came out. After the house and Senate pass their bills, it goes to conference committee, then the unified post-conference bill has to be passed in both chambers. Since NDAA is an annual bill, and last year’s version passed in December, I’m guessing it’s still got a while to go.
