The chairman of the now disbanded 9-11 commission has denied getting documents on Mohamed Atta and wants the White House to verify that.

Time magazine reports Thomas Kean wants President Bush to confirm whether a document linking Atta and al-Qaida was given to Deputy National Security Adviser Steven Hadley by Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa.

Weldon accuses the commission of being less than thorough in investigating a Pentagon program that discovered the Atta connection.

Kean said he's tired of defending the commission and wants proof the document exists. He said it was never given to the commission.

The Defense Department has not found the document.

A new development in criticism of the commission has surfaced though.

The commission reported that hijacker Khalid Almihdhar was out of the country from the summer of 2000 until the summer of 2001 but a Florida identification company reports they issued him an ID card, the magazine said.

Kean said there is enough evidence supporting the commission's conclusion but everything should be followed up.

"The former intelligence official said he was among a group that briefed Mr. Zelikow and at least three other members of the Sept. 11 commission staff about Able Danger when they visited the Afghanistan-Pakistan region in October 2003."

So... why would Bush's White House confirming that they never received the document help them? Bush's White House... why, at this point, should we believe ANYTHING that comes out of the Bush White House?!?

RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION, PERIOD
