(this bears close watching - security by committee is rarely effective,
particularly when it's made of CEO-level folks that have no clue on the
matter....typical government response.....prolly will be ineffective at

Tuesday October 16 8:21 PM ET President Forms Cyberterrorism Panel

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush (news - web sites) formed a new panel
Tuesday to fight cyberterrorism, noting that the nation's information
systems are vital to business, government and national defense. 

The President's Critical Infrastructure Board will be charged with
preventing disruptions of ``critical infrastructure,'' Bush said in an
executive order. 

He noted an array of entities that rely on information networks,
including water, telecommunications, financial and transportation
systems, health care and emergency services and manufacturing. 

Protecting the networks is vital to protecting ``the people, economy,
essential human and government services and national security of the
United States,'' Bush said. 

A key task of the board will be coordinating with private industry,
which runs many of the nation's information networks, the order states. 

Cabinet members will constitute most of the board, along with a host of
other top presidential aides.  There was no firm number for how many
people will serve on the panel.  "
