Pentagon starts "email warfare" against Iraq
According to this AP story in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required):
In a novel use of information warfare, the Pentagon sent e-mail messages to Iraqi generals to encourage dissent and defections and to warn against carrying out any order from President Saddam Hussein to use chemical or germ weapons against U.S. or allied forces, an official said Friday.
The official said it was the first time this technique had been used. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said it was part of a broader campaign by the Pentagon and other U.S. agencies to weaken the Iraqi military's loyalty to Mr. Hussein and to dissuade the use of chemical or biological weapons.
