<a href='http://www.iwar.org.uk/news-archive/2005/08-16-3.htm' target='_blank'>Here</a> is the content of the letter from Curt Weldon to the "9/11 Public Discourse Project" (9/11 Commission), which makes an interesting read.
Does anyone have any real insight into where Weldon is coming from, and why this information apparently eluded the 9/11 Commission?

I ignored the story for a few days because Weldon's claims didn't seem to be believable. I posted the link because it came through on a listserv that, IMHO, has a good track record. I respect Lee Hamilton, vice chair of the commission, more than any other polititcian I can remember, so I tend to lend a great deal of credibility to their statement <a href='http://www.9-11pdp.org/press/2005-08-12_pr.pdf' target='_blank'>here</a>. There doesn't seem to be much common ground with the <a href='http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Sept-11-Hijackers.html?oref=login' target='_blank'>Times article</a>, though.
For a semi-partisan (though I've lost track of which side of the aisle is claiming we didn't do enough :rolleyes:) rebuttal, Media Matters has <a href='http://mediamatters.org/items/200508160003' target='_blank'>this to say</a> (in regard to the New York Post).
