- [...]Der Rundfunk hat eine Entwicklung genommen, die zwar ermöglicht, das ganze eigene Volk täglich und stündlich mit Nachrichten zu versorgen und Propagandamaterial sogar unmittelbar an die Hörer des neutralen und feindlichen Auslandes heranzubringen, aber natürlich auch umgekehrt.
Es wird sich zweifellos der Rundfunk im modernen Kriege zu einem neuen Kampfmittel im Äther entwickeln. Auch daraus erwachen nicht zu verachtende Probleme.

- [...]If you recall, I described information warfare in terms of how we deny, corrupt or destroy our adversary's information base while we
protect our own. Much of this activity has a very offensive element to it. I think we've been doing this for some time, but perhaps we
didn't use that kind of term. For example, during Desert Storm, we targeted many of the Iraqi communications nodes and physically
destroyed Saddam Hussein's ability to talk to his troops through normal channels. We forced him into sub-optimum modes of
communicating.

- [...]Information as used here means the "content or meaning of a message." An aim of warfare always has been to affect the enemy's
information systems. In the broadest sense, information systems encompass every means by which an adversary arrives at knowledge
or beliefs. A narrower view maintains that information systems are the means by which an adversary exercises control over, and

decisionmaking processes and systems of the adversary. The outcome sought by information attacks at every level is for the enemy
to receive sufficient messages that convince him to stop fighting.

- [...]A major new factor in information war is the worldwide infosphere of television and broadcast news. Information warfare at the
strategic level is the "battle off the battlefield" to shape the political context of the conflict. It will define the new "battlespace." We
face an "integrated battlefield," not in the usual sense of having a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in every tank or cockpit
but in the Clausewitzian sense that war is being integrated into the political almost simultaneously with the battle. Many people
suspect that the national command authorities (NCA) are in danger of becoming increasingly "reactive" to a "fictive" universe created
by CNN, its various international competitors, or even a terrorist with a video camera.

- [...]The attacks against the DOD are certainly embarrassing.
More importantly, they represent a threat to national security.
The attacks themselves have been relatively unimportant.
The fact that they are successful says more about the DOD
than the hackers.[...]
