That question provides zero insight into my character but it does shed some light on your lack of intelligence.

I don't actually care who you associate with - it was a thought game - you are saying that you are for guilt via association (or at least I assumed you were) which I was I tried to throw that principle back in your face. Jeez, do you need jokes explaining to you too?

The fact you think my inability to talk about some secret work I have done means that I've done something unethical is ridiculous.

The evidence we've seen so far says no, it's not ridiculous. Prove otherwise any time :)

Isn't history full of examples of people doing secret government work, that wasn't unethical, that they could not share outside of their immediate team?

Alan Turing helping to crack the enigma code comes to mind.

You're now assuming all intelligence work is unethical? You're childlike arrogance and ignorance is tiresome.
