"by two former Israeli military intelligence officers, Dan Zorella and Avi Yanus."

emphasis on "military intelligence officers" i.e. not mossad. this is like mixing up the CIA and FBI. to an outsider they might appear the same, but that's not really the case.



"Ilan Mizrachi, a former deputy head of the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, said that he sees nothing inherently wrong with former intelligence operatives working for civilian enterprises. “Some people I know went into journalism, some are consultants,” he said. “Among many other professions, some work for companies like Black Cube.”

Quote from the article: "Despite some missteps, Black Cube “has to turn clients away because it cannot service all the demands,” said Mr. Halevy, a former head of the Mossad, an Israeli government intelligence agency..."


Which determines that he is qualified to speak about Black Cube, not that he works for Black Cube. There's a difference.


Please read the article first...

"Efraim Halevy, former director of Mossad, an Israeli intelligence service, is a member of Black Cube’s advisory board."


ok, those are better pull quotes than the original :) just noting that mossad and aman (military intelligence) are 2 different things.
