56. That's taking it a bit far, isn't it?

I don't see how this . . .

The Walt Disney Company hired Total Intelligence and TRC to do a “threat assessment” for potential film shoot locations in Morocco, with former CIA officials Black and Richer reaching out to their former Moroccan intel counterparts for information. The job provided a “good chance to impress Disney,” one company executive wrote. How impressed Disney was is not clear; in 2009 the company paid Total Intelligence just $24,000.

. . . indicates much of anything, other than the fact that Disney hired a security firm to do work for them. People with links to intelligence services are all over the private security industry and companies like Disney hire them all the time.

No. According to the article, they once paid 24k to have movie locations scouted. nt msanthrope Jul 2012 #10
