Joint Senate and House Intelligence Committees begin secret hearings Tuesday on how the FBI, CIA and other agencies failed to put all the clues together before Sept. 11.

Important as it is to look back, the country must not get hung up on the past, say many experts. According to a seven-member team of Brookings Institution analysts, even the strategy since Sept. 11 has been misguided. We're obsessed by hijack attacks, but that's the enemy's old tactic, warns the report.

The government needs more imagination, says the report. "Good homeland security is far from hopeless, though efforts to date have not been sufficient."

Its recommendations include:

Put all border protection agencies under one structure.

Create a homeland security department with a Cabinet-rank head.
