TAMPA - With details emerging Thursday that the Sept. 11 commission omitted crucial information from its final report last year, a group of 9/11 widows called for creation of a new independent panel.
"I'm very disturbed, and I want to get some answers," said Kristen Breitweiser, whose husband, Ronald, died in the World Trade Center. "I want to know what the truth is."
Her organization, the September 11th Advocates, or the Jersey Girls, was instrumental in pushing for creation of the Sept. 11 commission.
On Thursday, the now-disbanded commission became embroiled in controversy, after acknowledging it omitted crucial information about ringleader Mohammed Atta in its final report last summer.
Former commission members planned to issue a "comprehensive statement" Thursday afternoon addressing the latest developments but they balked, saying they were still reviewing documents.
In a scathing letter Wednesday to the former co-chairmen of the commission, Weldon said, "The commission's refusal to investigate Able Danger after being notified of its existence, and its recent efforts to feign ignorance of the project while blaming others for supposedly withholding information on it, brings shame on the commissioners."
Early in the week, Al Felzenberg, who had been the commission's chief spokesman, said the panel was unaware of intelligence specifically naming Atta.
But he said subsequent information provided Wednesday confirmed that the commission had been aware of the intelligence.
It did not make it into the final report because the information was not consistent with what the commission knew about Atta's whereabouts before the attacks, he said.
Citing the latest revelations, Breitweiser, the Sept. 11 widow, called the findings of the Sept. 11 commission "an utterly hollow report."

I suppose this really brings home the question for her: Does she give lip service to the truth and her husband's memory, or does she genuinely want the truth to come out?
You're right. Mostly all compromised, spineless cowards in D.C.
I'm willing to give them a 3-day weekend to study up on the facts, but if my Senators and Congressman aren't talking about this by Tuesday, they will get an earful....a big, loud earful.
Please expound on this. Thanks.
NOBODY will now be successful in talking to Kristen and "get her back on the right talking points" on which you wish to bet.
THAT won't happen. She knows she's been used by the libs. Clear and specific enough?
Four Flaming *ssholes
Fine.
In order to complain, Kristen must go through official channels- she's gotta camp outside Jamie Gorelicks apartment.
Kristen, you kissed the butts of the very people that were responsible for 911 happening and stood by and let your husband get killed. Now, tell me is Bill Clinton and his Democrat ilk great folks. Dearest, you are a miserable and taken fool. And....an idiot to boot!!!
'Spitball' (without Chris Matthews). David Gregory almost lost his lunch! She was smokin'!
truth
NBC News last night--hosted by David Gregory--did an "In Depth" story on Weldon's "accusations". They made it sound like Weldon's info was wrong and the commission did everything it was supposed to do. Made me absoulutely FURIOUS!!
Next thing we know, Kristin will be down in Crawford hanging out with Cindy.
They'll mostly be silent. Cowards.
She knew it the other night on tv. She was reaming the Clinton administration!
Did she SPECIFICALLY refer to the Clinton Administration or did she just refer to "the Administration". I suspect YOU know that it is the Clinton Administration's fault. I suspect Kristen doesn't. When Kristen says "The Administration" she is talking about GW Bush and no one else. She is a Leftist sock puppet put out there to put a sympatetic face on the Hysteric Left's hate filled propaganda attack just like Cindy Sheean is on Iraq.
post # 92.
WRONG. She knows now.
LOL--let me put it this way--the day I saw her, they were pretty puckered up, like she had never laughed a day in her life...which is how I characterize the aforementioned women!
