今まで主に戦争板で漫画を紹介していましたが、これからはこれはと思う面白そうな漫画はＩＴ板でご紹介していこうと思います。以下理由です。
１、【田中 宇の国際ニュース解説】をご紹介しているのと同趣旨です。国際情勢等への関心のあるなしで、セキュリティ情報への接し方も、理解の深さも全然違ってくると思っています。これは小生の体験から来る実感です。
２、難しそうな技術情報の中での息抜きです。また、漫画をお目当てにＩＴ板を訪問する人が増え、「ついでに難しそうなＩＴ情報をつまみ食いしてくれたら」との考えもあります。
３、これからますますＩＴスキルが重要になります。そう言う知識のある人ほど平和の問題を始めとして社会問題に関心を持って欲しいと感じています。
４、戦争板は流れが速すぎます。今までも随分良い漫画が早すぎた流れで消えていきました。
５、主に【SteveBellの漫画です。】がご紹介の中心になると思います。後ろに英文の関連記事を載せます。インターネットの世界は英語が必須なので英語の勉強の意味合いもあります。出来たら中高校生とかがこのＩＴ板の愛読者となって、ＩＴに強くなり、社会問題にも目覚め、英語にも強くなってくれれば最高です。

31.03.04: 9/11 testimony
Rice told to testify before 9/11 hearing as Bush caves in

President George Bush surrendered yesterday to public demands for greater disclosure from the White House to the investigation into the September 11 attacks, authorising his national security adviser to testify in public before the commission.
The retreat - after weeks of resisting a public appearance by Condoleezza Rice - was one of two positive gestures to the commission yesterday from a White House acutely aware that the controversy was damaging Mr Bush's re-election prospects.
In addition to allowing Ms Rice to testify in public and under oath as investigators demand, Mr Bush and the vice-president, Dick Cheney, also agreed to meet the commission, but in a single private session.
The two men will not be under oath, but their appearance represents an advance on an earlier deal that would have had Mr Bush meeting only the commission chairman and vice-chairman.
In brief comments to reporters yesterday, Mr Bush claimed he waived the principle of executive privilege because of the gravity of the attacks. "I've ordered this level of cooperation because I consider it necessary to gaining a complete picture of the months and years that preceded the murder of our fellow citizens on September 11 2001," he said.
However, the concessions came with firm conditions making it evident that the White House - which opposed the establishment of the commission - does not intend to be forced into further compromises.
A letter from Mr Bush's counsel, Alberto Gonzales, said the White House would not entertain additional demands for testimony from Ms Rice, or other White House officials. There is also no scope for expanding the session with Mr Bush and Mr Cheney.
"The commission must agree in writing that Dr Rice's testimony before the commission does not set any precedent for future commission requests, or requests in any other context, for testimony by a national security adviser or any other White House official," the letter said.
Democratic party figures said the administration's response showed its cooperation remained grudging at best. "It's been 16 months of foot-dragging and unwillingness to cooperate that we have now seen come to an end," said the Senate Democratic leader, Tom Daschle.
The u-turn was widely seen as a tacit acknowledgement that the White House stonewalling was beginning to cast a shadow over Mr Bush's re-election campaign. "I think the White House would have been better off if it had made the agreements sooner, but I am delighted," said Slade Gorton, a Republican commissioner.
By capitulating, the White House hopes to close the door on the controversy stirred up last week by the former terrorism adviser, Richard Clarke, who accused the administration of being lackadaisical about the threat of al-Qaida and obsessed with Iraq.
Mr Clarke's account brought enormous public attention to bear on a commission that had operated largely beneath the radar of public opinion. It also ignited the showdown between the commission and Ms Rice when she was asked to appear once more to reconcile the differences in her testimony and that of her subordinate.
Ms Rice had appeared before the commission last February. The session was held within the White House on a Saturday, and no recording was made of the four-hour meeting. At first, the White House refused to contemplate a second appearance. But it undermined its own argument of executive privilege by encouraging Ms Rice to appear regularly on television news shows to assail Mr Clarke's testimony.
