Out of the rubble of two US embassies came one important lesson: For Americans, terrorism is the new face of war.

And, says a blunt report from the National Commission on Terrorism -- the White House should now intensify the fight against it -- including, for the first time, the option of using the US military in a leadership role.

"We're not talking marshal law. We're simply talking about planning for an event that might never happen where you want, where the president would want, to call on the miltary's very broad skills."

That's just one recommendation in a controversial report. Others include: -- loosening restrictions on CIA and FBI recruitment of criminal informants -- monitoring the movements of all foreign college students -- making possession of poison biological agents a federal crime.

(NARR:)

One recommendation urges the United States to stop cooperating with Iran until it fully cooperates in investigating the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing that killed 19 American servicemen.
