The report concluded that:

• Al-Qaida and its affiliates remain active and effective, with a stronger support base and a higher intensity of attacks than before 9/11.
• Introduction: A Clear and Present Danger?
• Even though the United States is deeply mired in the Iraq insurgency, there is now a serious risk of a confrontation with Iran.
• Far from winning the 'war on terror', the second George W. Bush administration is maintaining policies that are not curbing paramilitary movements and are actually increasing violent anti-Americanism.
• To avert endless war, vigorous independent assessments of alternative policies backed up by diplomatic pressure may ultimately have a positive impact.

These conclusions remain equally valid today.
