need-to-know basis

Fairly self-explainatory, a tight security method in which information is only given to those who can present a good case for knowing about a project.
The example is classified, and given out on a need-to-know basis only. Obviously, it isn't funny.

Need to know basis

Good because I need to know everything immediately and anyone telling you to withhold information from me need to be brought to me for execution, immediately.
Hym "You know I'm going to murder anyone telling you that I am on a 'need to know basis' right? That is one of the 2 things I said I would murder over 1. Pretend to be me in an overt capacity and 2. Withholding information FROM me. Bring anyone telling you that to me immediately. For murder."
