How is that relevant to your political biases? I provided products,
training programs, and product-use advice to surgeons for many years.
No surgeon, though, ever asked me for advice on how to vote.

conferences.

Don't weasel. Were you, or were you not, a ranking officer at command
level with access to information about how the UK military command
rate the US military? Were you, or were you not, actively involved in
a combate role?

When were you last in direct contact with the US legal system?

You claim to have a security background and make a statement like that?
1. OBL made the requisite admission.

2. In order to present the evidence we would have to divulge all operatives.
Yup! I'm sure you would like us to do that.
