Moreover, the most damning evidence against the WoD is the treatment given the report and it's findings after it was released.

Whatever. We now know that the report does not address the legality of the Federal WOD's and in fact the recommendations leave the Federal WOD's in place. Since they were addressing the efficacy of the existing laws, they must feel the Federal WOD's is effective.

Where in the report is there an analysis of the efficacy of the existing laws? There is only a consideration of how the law as it existed should be applied based on the evidence. They were not charged with evaluating the efficacy of the law, and in fact at the time they did this study the law had just been passed. They had no historical data to judge it's efficacy on. Veracity counts. You get points deducted for spin.
