Rounds is here pitching the UAPDA as a way of guaranteeing the protection of national security, that nothing untoward is accidentally released. But that’s a red herring, as he certainly knows that is not going to happen from the Pentagon or the Intelligence Community, which is being ultra parsimonious in its efforts. A very modified, limited hangout, at best. Why is Congress so reluctant to exercise its proper powers and authority openly and plainly? We know the answer to this, but Rounds is performing here, not answering.
