Denning, Dorothy E.
Information Warfare and Security. New York: ACM Press, 1999.
Kruh, Cryptologia 23.3, calls Denning's work "a comprehensive overview of the wide range of activities that comprise information warfare." The book "provides the[] background needed to make informed judgements about potential threats or the defenses against them."

Times, 31 Oct. 1999. [http://www.latimes.com]
"[H]ow can an increasingly wired America best defend itself from hostile nations, foreign spies, terrorists or anyone else armed with a computer, an e-mail virus and the Internet? And how can America fight back in the strange new world of warp-speed warfare? The answers so far are not encouraging."

Gerth, Jeff. "Military's Information War Is Vast and Often Secretive." New York Times, 11 Dec. 2005. [http://www.nytimes.com]
According to "documents and interviews with contractors, government officials and military personnel," the U.S. government "has been conducting an information war that is extensive, costly and often hidden." The goal is "to counter anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world." The 1,200-strong Fourth Psychological Operations Group based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, "turns out what its officers call 'truthful messages' to support" the government's objectives.
Gorman, Siobhan. "Hacker Attacks Hitting Pentagon: But NSA's Methods for Safeguarding Data Are Growing Obsolete." Baltimore Sun, 2 Jul. 2006. [http://www.baltimoresun.com]
"The number of reported attempts to penetrate Pentagon computer networks rose sharply in the past decade.... At the same time, the nation's ability to safeguard sensitive data in those and other government computer systems is becoming obsolete as efforts to make improvements have faltered and stalled. A National Security Agency program [Key Management Infrastructure] to protect secrets at the Defense Department and intelligence and other agencies is seven years behind schedule,... according to intelligence officials and unclassified internal NSA documents obtained by The Sun."
Graham,
Bradley. "Military Grappling With Rules for Cyber Warfare." Washington
Post, 8 Nov. 1999, A1. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
"During last spring's conflict with Yugoslavia, the Pentagon considered hacking into Serbian computer networks to disrupt military operations and basic civilian services. But it refrained from doing so, according to senior defense officials, because of continuing uncertainties and limitations surrounding the emerging field of cyber warfare."

"[T]he collection and exploitation of textual information of all kinds should have some place in the [Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA)] concept, and in the national investments influenced by it. RMA needs balanced coverage of the enemy.... [There is also a] need for caution about RMA as information dominance and perfect knowledge. Technology promises miracles of [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] collection, processing and presentation, but still at the two-dimensional level dictated by objects."

"The overall concept of IW can thus be considered as having three parts: a set of IW elements (techniques and capabilities), a comprehensive strategy that applies and orchestrates them, and a target and objective."

According to Maj. Gen. Paul J. LeBras, USAF, commander of the Air Force Air Intelligence Agency (AIA) and Joint Information Operations Center, Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, "information operations embrace a spectrum of effects-based missions from psychological operations and system security to intelligence gathering and infiltrating enemy communications networks. The success of recent U.S. military missions in Afghanistan and Iraq has raised awareness about the value of this approach."
