Ramage, James A. Rebel Raider: The Life of General John Hunt Morgan. Lexington, KY: University Press of Kentucky, 1986.

Tipton, MI 21.4: Morgan "contributed significantly to the Confederate war effort. His primary offering was intelligence.... Ranging from middle Tennessee to the Ohio River, Morgan scouted the Yankee movements, intuitively discerning intent and relaying that intelligence to his superiors.... Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) may have been born in Kentucky in 1862." Morgan had in his command a Canadian telegrapher who "developed a portable system which allowed him to tap into Federal telegraph lines, intercepting messages and inserting 'imitative communications deception'.... I highly recommend this book ... as a good read and as documentation of the history of combat intelligence operations."

"Sources tell TIME that U.S. special forces have been moving in and out of Afghanistan for three years now looking for bin Laden. Recently, the activity has been stepped up. But they face the challenge of capturing a man who knows the terrain, has dozens of hideouts and is surrounded by loyal followers."

Christine Large has been dismissed as director of the trust that runs Bletchley Park.
