"i thought they knew 4 of them..."

Then why wasn't that tidbit in the 9/11 Commission's report?

You guys are missing the important part of Clarke's statement. It is my understanding that the Able Danger group knew of the 4 hijackers, but was prohibited from telling the FBI.

They were NOT prohibited from reporting to the NSC, whose duty was to collect and distill intelligence information for President Clinton.

It seems to me that Clarke was the recipient of this information from Able Danger. And what did he do?

Nothing.

FOX reported this morning it didn't fit with the Commission's agenda so they just tossed it out. No bit surprise there.
