You mean there are actually some intel folks who still believe it is wrong to share classified information with anyone (including friends) unless there is a need to know? Amazing!! Kudos to them.

That's not the point. They will normally say "I cant comment" or some other non answer. To look at me like I'm not there or to not react at all is a little .... I don't know... stranger than normal.

It's like either this is at such a high level of black that they are not even allowed to ask the questions themselves or they have not thought about the possibilities.... which I consider HIGHLY unlikely.
