Ah, good old political spin in action again it appears....
Firstly, I'd be interested in how they worked up to their settings - was it in one sudden pulse, or did they just turn the dial slowly until they achieved the desired level?
As the damage is actually inflicted by the SUDDEN increase in electrical activity, a slow increase isn't likely to have anywhere near the same effect.
Secondly, they only tested up to approximately 50,000 V/m. That's NOTHING when you consider,

So, bearing that information in mind, information generated from the both NATO and US DoD documents, I'd say the Commissions report might be just
slightly tinged with political expediancy....
