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 saw Krauthammer this morning. That was quite worrisome!
What has John Podhoretz said? He's usually right on.
Thanks for the link... I read some of it, not all..... butI still believe Weldon. We'll see.
What!!!
They can't do that.
They have been using that poor duck for 5 years....
"Starting a betting pool: how long before someone talks to Kristen and gets her back on the right talking points?"
This stupid sow sold out her husband for the benefit of the party. Well, beotch, they lied to you. Now you can try to go to sleep every night knowing it was your ignorance that caused this mess.
I live a few blocks from Mindy Kleinberg. Her husband is spinning in his grave knowing his wife participated in this folly.
What, the DNC hasn't talked to the Jersey Girls yet?
"Starting a betting pool: how long before someone talks to Kristen and gets her back on the right talking points?"
This article is dated Friday, so my bet would be that someone talked to her yesterday.
"Kristen must'a lost her official DNC, 9/11 High-Jacker Timeline©."
Don't laugh, I saw this book in the bookstore yesterday. In front, it has endorsements by four of the Jersey Girls. It was compiled by some guy who, the endpaper notes say, is credited with "working to save the rainforests in Borneo." I'm not making this up.
She got played big time and willingly so by the Clintonista hacks.
"Looks like it's already too late for that one. Other members of this group are actually DEFENDING Gorelick"
If they're defending Gorelick, then
1) They don't know what they're talking about, and/or
2) They're being disingenuous.
"Former commission members planned to issue a "comprehensive statement" Thursday afternoon addressing the latest developments but they balked"
I wonder if Gorelick was unwilling to go along? Or Ben-Veniste?
"The MSM has just about defanged this story already"
The MSM never began to look into this story. Or anything else concerning 9/11. All they do is read the Commission hand-outs.
"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"
They have no idea whether Weldon's information is right or wrong, because I'll bet they did no independent investigation of the matter.
" Hell. Now their electrocuting the poor bastard!"
What!!!They can't do that.
They have been using that poor duck for 5 years...."
Haven't you seen the Frankenstein scene where they have a babe on one bed and the duck on the other, both wired up? Then Igor pulls the high voltage switch, and huge arcs and sparks start to fly throught the duck? I tell ya. They are trying to electrocute him. Hundreds of millions of volts at thousands of amperes pass through his body as he whacks around on the bed.
She's just upset that there's currently another nutty, bereaved moonbat getting more attention than she.
"If I recall correctly, her organization's spiritual leader was Richard Ben Veniste, right?"
Ya think she got a call from Ben-Veniste's office after this Hardball appearance?
The fact that this woman is defending her reeks somthin ' awful.
It's a Clinton legacy racket.
Kristin, meet Cindy Sheehan, Cindy, This is Kristin...
