← Back to context Comment by JasonADrury 12 hours ago "Mossad agents" would by definition not be "Mossad employees" 3 comments JasonADrury Reply mikkupikku 10 hours ago You've got that backward. Intelligence Agents are employed by intelligence agencies. Intelligence Assets aren't. JasonADrury 10 hours ago I think you're confusing "agent" and "officer".An agent is specifically some third party acting on your behalf. It's the same when we speak of real estate agents. mikkupikku 7 hours ago Wiktionary says, regarding 'agent':> Someone who works for an intelligence agency: whether an officer or employee thereof or anyone else who agrees to help their efforts (for ideology, for money, as blackmailee, or otherwise).That said, I also asked ChatGPT and it says you're right.
