Some forms of insurgency, guerrilla warfare and terrorism are difficult to detect early and could lead to war, a study by security experts said. The study, compiled by a senior group of military and civilian security specialists, said the swift and decisive use of the U.S. Special Forces might be the only way to cope with terrorism. The United States, the study said, should not vacillate in striking at threats identified by intelligence sources or retaliating with “surgical” strikes by Special Forces after the fact.
