They already knew about the damned plot on 9/11
I’m only aware of some rather vague statements made during an overall security briefing. Do you have proof of something more substantial?

It is called “Able Danger” and it detected 9/11 before it happened but was covered up top cover up top level incompetence and I found out about it on free republic by the way...

Here is the first FreeRepublic Article on it...
When I click on the second link you provided, then try to connect to the NY Post to read the entire article, I get a "page not found" error. Therefore, I can't comment on that article.
As to the first, it takes me to a list of articles. I presume you wanted me to read the one entitled "Did We Know About Mohammed Atta?".
After reading that article, I found no new revelations. Of course we knew about him. We know names of lots of terrorists. That's a far cry from claiming we knew he was going to fly planes into buildings, let alone knowing what date it was planned
So yes, as I stated, the government had vague information. I still don't see where they had anything specific enough to have been able to stop 9/11. A name doesn't doesn't get you there.
