This isn't an online source, or really about discourse/conduct of 21st century warfare per se, but it's really important base reading material: "Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument With Historical Illustrations," by Michael Walzer. "A classic treatment of the morality of war written by one of our country's leading philosophers, with a new introduction considering the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo. Just and Unjust Wars examines a variety of conflicts in order to understand exactly why, according to Walzer, 'the argument about war and justice is still a political and moral necessity.' Walzer's classic work draws on historical illustrations that range all the way from the Athenian attack on Melos to this morning's headlines, and uses the testimony of participants-decision makers and victims alike-to examine the moral issues of warfare." (from the jacket) I used this book as an adjunct resource when teaching American Indian Warfare at the University of Arizona, but it's applicable across all times.

Believe it or not, we are having trouble finding academic writing on the topic. Does anyone have any suggestions? One of the topics he/we are interested in is what the Department of Defense calls "Network Centric Warfare". Last spring, I remember there being a post to the AIR listserv from an officer who was teaching the topic at, I believe, the NAval War College. Does anybody know/remember this person? Is s/he still on the list. In any event, any help would be greatly appreciated.
