"... it was literally decided that Open Source was a threat to the Corps intellectual property, and that even internal user groups need extra security monitoring, and that the internal culture needed to reflect this level of security."

This sounds terrible. If the net effect is that they consider you personally to be a threat to the company, your only options are to defuse the threat (convince upper management they're wrong, or convince them you've changed your mind about Open Source) or jump ship ASAP. It would also be a good idea to consult with an IP lawyer, to allow you to extricate yourself without a lawsuit and to continue being able to work in the same field in the future. Tread lightly.
