Did the CIA know anything about it?

It's not possible that the NSA, CIA, FBI, DIA etc ad nauseum didn't know in
advance.

Is it really possible that a terrorist strike the size of 9/11 could
have been pulled off without CIA foreknowledge?

Absolutely. The magnitude of the operation was in the low
dozens of people, with no specialized equipment.

How the break-up of the Soviet Union happened without CIA
foreknowledge, now that's a mystery.

I don't think so.  As
if the CIA with all their intelligence and feelers in the world were
totally caught off guard on 9/11/01?  Not!  That's not how the world
works.

Try the real world next time.
