Spart, yes, it is like that. Any govt can disavow covert ops at will. Not to mention the bay of pigs example. Of course, you're using vague verbs like "associated with" and "connected with". I think it is undeniable that Shep (in all ME2 assignments and missions) is connected with Cerberus. Buuuuut I think the obvious should be mentioned, that from the beginning of the game, Shepard's relationship with Cerberus is (or can be, player's choice) ambiguous ("I'm not working for Cerberus", etc.). -- But one thing is clear; Miranda can resign from Cerberus at the end of the suicide mission.
