Meanwhile, another possible gap in the 9/11 report has emerged. The panel found that hijacker Khalid Almihdhar had left the U.S. from the summer of 2000 until two months before the attacks. But USAID Systems, a Florida ID firm, confirmed last week that he was issued a card--reproduced in a book last year--in New York or New Jersey exactly six years before its expiration date of Dec. 30, 2006.

If every plan to attack al-Qaeda had been executed, and every lead explored, Atta's team might still never have been...

Cole. Almihdhar was one of the first hijackers to sign up for flight lessons in the U.S., in early...
