This is a misleading subject line. Richard Clarke's allegation is not that the CIA knew about 9/11 before it took place, but that 1) the CIA knew that two people known to be Al Qaeda agents were in the country but did not tell the FBI and these two people went on to become 9/11 hijackers (this part is already established in the public record, the CIA has copped to it) and 2) the reason that the CIA did not tell the FBI was that it hoped to turn the two Al Qaeda agents to work for the U.S. (this part is the new allegation - the allegation is not new, what is new is that Richard Clarke has given voice to it, although he concedes that it is speculation/inference on his part, he does not have any new evidence to support the allegation; he simply has now stated that he believes that this is the most plausible explanation for the CIA's failure to inform the FBI.)
