Lisa Friedman from the Long Beach Press-Telegram's National Bureau (they have a National Bureau?) takes issue with the statement that the 9/11 hijackers had a combined total of 63 driver's licenses. She repeatedly refers to it as false, an urban legend, etc. etc. However, she provides no contrary proof that they did not have those licenses.
It closes with this humorous bit from the National Council of The Race:
...Opponents of the national driver's license standard say they are angry at the ease with which the false statistic gained currency.
"It's so frustrating and so maddening to listen to what they've been getting away with saying," said Michelle Waslin, an immigration policy expert with the National Council of La Raza.
