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."

hmm....thinks she has any regrets being a kerry shill and being used by the lib media???
I hope she has AFLAC.
I wouldn't want to be her pet(s) about now.
Will Kristen Breitweiser now admit that she has been used by the
vast left-wing cosnpiracy to blame 9/11 on President Bush?
I'm really sick of 9/11 widows who think that the world stops and starts at their convenience, but I agree with them on this. Finally, they're making some noise about something important instead of making vague accusations that "Bush knew 9/11 was going to happen" and bitching about every memorial whose design wasn't submitted to them for approval.
Yo, Kristen, it's time to realize you were a tool of your leftist friends. Come over to the people who will love you as a human being, not a symbol.
They'll have to spell it out to her in words with very few syllables.
Kristin Breitweiser is really just furious Cindy Sheehan is the partisan anti-war moonbat Du Juor.
Yep, I should've figured that this was too good to be true.
Never thought I'd find common ground with the Jersey Girls, but, I agree. The American people have a right to know what happened, what led to the intelligence failures.
How can we prevent another 9/11, if we are not willing to take an unflinching look at why we weren't able to stop this one? No political party gets a pass.
And I definitely want to know what Sandy Berger took out of the National Archives and destroyed. Why did he get off with a slap on the wrist? Those were Classified Documents he stole.
The jersey girls hatred of Bush is dwarfed only by their desire for attention, and it's been awhile since they got any air play. It will be hard for the favorite darlings of the media to be ignored. Bring out the cameras, it's time for another stage panel, complete with interviews and outrage.
Monday?--In for $10 to Free Republic!
That Duck must be getting tired by now!
LOL! Maybe we can also pay for another commission to investigate the 9/11 commission
I saw ole Kristin on the cable shows on Friday...and her lips have taken on the pursed look of Eleanor Clift, Katrina Vanden Heuvel, and Ceci Connolly...
What she hasn't realized, I guess, is that if she keeps it up, her face will "stick that way", like the above named women's have.
... Women that is fake “hopping mad” partisan political tool should not complain about the “Kangaroo court” she help create
Me, too.
Hmmm...I wonder if Perky Couric and the rest of the MSM gang will give her the same amount of publicity as they did during the first 9/11 Commission hearing.
