For a real short synopsis, though I've only read 1/2 of the book so far, a mason is obligated to favor other secret oath takers, due to the secret oaths they take. That means that an oath to tell the whole truth on a witness stand is meaningless if you're testifying against a fellow Freemason. Same with the oath of office for a politician. It's probably a big reason why corruption is so wide and deep in this country.
I'm pretty certain there was nothing in my oaths that said anything of the sort. In fact FM's are censured if they seek pecuniary (or legal) advantage by being a FM.
I will, however, double check that.
edit: from what I recall all the secrecy stuff was about not sharing all the elements that help to identify a fellow FM (words, signs, secret handshakes etc.)
