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."

Carryin' her water, no doubt...
It is pure genius to have the opposition attack its own. Meanwhile, the former Slick one is fine tuning his favorite musical compilation.
David Gregory is a puppet. He will do anything to keep his job. His a lying mannequin........ and he looks like a liberal lizard. I can't stand the lying weasel. He's the kind of male who will stab his best friend in the back if it will help him move up the ladder.
;-)
Not likely.
Wow, she better not take any strolls in Ft. Marcy Park...
Get the transcript of the show and you can get out of the dark.
She has not laughed in a long while.
I know a couple of people who knew her before 9/11. She laughed in her life.
Right on.
I have seen her more times than I care to---
She testifies as if SHE is queen of the world, when all she is, is a woman who is unlucky enough to have been married to someone who died on 9/11...
no more, no less, and bless her heart---she needs to get on with her life, so she CAN laugh.
Maybe there is a 12 step program for she and Cindy Sheehan.
Right ............ it was despicable. I kept waiting for an anvil to fall on Gorelick's head.
Really? This could get interesting then.

Even the term "Jersey Girls" makes my flesh crawl. It's like a bunch of 60-something women who form a singing group and perform at events. That they APPLAUDED at the hearings and seem so pleased with themselves on Chris Matthews makes me think they're only using this as an opportunity to get more airtime, now that Cindy S seems to be butting in on their territory.
Have you noticed how the DUmmies were positively drooling to hear Ashcroft's testimony, and after he dropped the Gorelick bomb...not a word!
If the Jersey Girls go for the Clinton Administration's throat, the liberal news media will simply ignore them this time around.
Depending on what comes out of the Jersey Girls' mouths, the liberal news media will create a media circus around the Jersey Girls to advance their political agenda or the liberal news media will create a wall of silence around the Jersey Girls to protect their political agenda.
You can see the process right now with the liberal news media coverage of Cindy Sheehan.
Cindy Sheehan: "Bush is a manic!! He killed my son!!!""
Liberal News Media Headline......."Maniac Bush" Killed Grieving Mother's Son.
Cindy Sheehan: "My son died because neo-con Jews were looking out for Israeli interests!!!"
Liberal News Media Headline ....... ......."Maniac Bush Killed My Son", Said Grieving Mother Yesterday
Breitweiser : If I could just jump in for a second. I particularly would like to ask Roger directly if he had known about this operation, clearly he and Richard Clarke were in a position at the time that this operation would have been put in place to know of such a thing, and Roger, I'm just wondering, did you know of this?
Of course Cressey said he didn't know anything! What a joke! But Ms. Breitweiser was tough.
Kristen, you were played like a fiddle by the demoRAT party. Welcome to reality !
