Drug Boat Strike

If you have to torture the law so much that interpretations about it must end up on SIPR, then why have laws at all?

Telling the taxpayer "Yeah, the law only references 9/11, but we can use to mean whatever we want" is a crock of shit. Justice implemented in secret isn't justice.
Not my idea nor even my execution. You’ll have to talk to your Congressperson. Both HASC & SASC are keenly aware (at least they were when I was involved). In all fairness, the expansion / implementation of AUMF into ROE does have a rightful place in SECRET documents to prevent potential adversaries from benefiting, but to your point, yeah I’d have to agree that expanding to other missions with no transparency is a foul. Then again, I could go on and on about misuse of SIPR to prevent transparency. I had more than one ISIC tell me that any correspondence with potential media interest must go on SIPR because “you can’t exactly FOIA SIPR.”
