Thanks for the interesting post. The importance of human intelligence was illustrated for me when I read that the commander of the Hessian force at Valley Forge, had a note in his pocket predicting the attack that night, but he was too busy entertaining a local widow to actually read it.
Thanks, Mary. A friend of mine just informed me that Benjamin Tallmadge was his ancestor. My friend's middle name is "Tallmadge." Isn't that great? This little story meant something to someone beyond what I had intended it to mean.

Humint will be a vital and necessary component for gathering information from friends and foes for the foreseeable future. Great read, Tom.
Thanks for the information, Phil. I never heard that.
