CIA Operative?

In recent months I have come under suspicion, with accusation being made that I am in fact a CIA operative. The source of these rumors is not certain, but appear designed to either credit or discredit my character. While I neither confirm nor deny any James Bond-ish activities, I do admit to the following.

• My career has been directly or indirectly directed at the security of the United States of America.


• I acknowledge being involved with numerous programs classified secret by agencies of the United States of America.


• For the bulk of my adult life I have held a secret clearance.


• I am credited as author of a number of documents classified secret by the Department of Defense.


• I have attended and presented papers at classified conferences pertaining to the protection of the United States of America from foreign enemies and threats.

I offer the aforementioned facts to my accusers to confuse, to muddy the waters, to further question any affiliation I may or may not have with the Central Intelligence Agency.
