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."

Liberal women spend so much time yelling and screaming, that their faces are beyond "lifting"...Inner beauty leads to an outward calm (ie: Laura Bush)
Soooo....Ms. Breitweiser now agrees with FReepers?? LOL!!!
It's sadly pathetic when the vehiclle that propeled you into the national and political spotlight CRUMBLES TO DUST BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES!!!!
its not just the Dems, other then Weldon, do you see any high ranking people on our side saying anything?
Oh yeah!
Well, does Mark Steyn count?
Uh-oh. What's the poor MSM and DEM establishment to do now? LOL
Why, apparently FOX was dismissing this as well. Though I'm not surprised.
I'll be curious to find out if she knows this occured under the Clinton administration, and whether she pursues it if informed of the fact.
congressman, senators, cabinet members - people in a position to do something about getting an investigation going. that's what I want to see.
Maybe she can camp out in Crawford in President Bush's driveway, too, and demand that he set up a new commission.
Or, she could camp out in Jamie Gorelick's drive. That would be more fun, but no one would care.
I've seen this in numerous comments by the professional "left" in this country ~ here at FR we know better ~ so let them rage for awhile. Then we strike.
I saw her on TV the other night on MSNBC, and she ripped David Gregory a new one!!! She's pissed!
That's a real tough call by the umpire.
Bravo
Yeah, well he kept Fort Marcy park (mostly) body free.
Yes, Ms. Breitweiser ................ hallow and a pack of lies. And the old fart Lee Hamilton is Grandfather Liar.
> She will be sitting on Chris Matthews lap this week spinning it against Bush.<
More slumber parties with Chrissie...
The title of Matthews' show is a misnomer. The show is an hour-long exhibitionistic act of mutual gratification between a liberal host(ess) and a liberal guest (sorority sister). The token conservative guest is just a prop (toy) on the sidelines to make the exhibition more pleasurable.
It won't happen!
nope
She is rather cute in a private school girl way.
