Executives of notorious military contracting firm Blackwater or and intelligence program Able Danger have formed a new agency that specializes in selling intelligence to the world's wealthiest corporations.
The newly established Jellyfish Intelligence held a
press conference to discuss its mission.
But some intelligence analysts disagree with the privatization of intelligence gathering for multinational corporations.
Jellyfish Intelligence executives tried moving themselves away from the tarnished name of Blackwater which was changed to Xe because of
various criminal acts carried out by its workers such as the 2007 murder of dozens of Iraqi men, women and children.
Jellyfish's CEO assured Press TV that their methods abide by all laws-local, national and international.
Though this is not the first attempt at privatizing
intelligence services to top corporations, many believe that doing so could endanger national security, as the spreading of intelligence also increases the chances of it being leaked into the wrong hands.
