We've an interesting fellow that showed up at DU recently. I've only noticed some weirdness that occurred between my Firefox and his website, but others are drawing him out, and his story is a dilly.
Robert Schopmeyer claims to have figured out the 9/11 attacks were going to happen in February 2001. He got al-Qaeda flying hijacked planes into the WTC buildings around the first two weeks of September 2001. He figured out it would take teams of four or five, sitting by themselves or in groups of two in business and first class. He figured out the use of 4-inch knives to get past security. This was all based on his hearing about bin Laden's fatwa, divining the plan, and counting up the months it would take to train and carry out the attacks.
Furthermore, he realized that the next attack would be a shoe bomb.
The only thing he didn't do was DOCUMENT THAT HE KNEW THIS BEFORE 9/11. He didn't go to the FBI because people urged him not to. He had nothing but speculation. He even was in Logan Airport on September 8, and looked around to see if the hijackers could have gotten knifes aboard. But again, no documentation of this foreknowledge whatsoever.
Now he knows just why, if he had gone to the FBI and the CIA, they wouldn't have done anything anyway. And you can read about it in his book, available for purchase at his buggy website (amazingly enough, he may work for a software company that sells debugging softward!).

A sample:
So I had a meeting with the 15 people who worked for me (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=200795&mesg_id=201281) that were going to DAC in Las Vegas the next week. I started off by saying every one knew I had been talking about the huge attack on the World Trade Center Towers since February, and one of the sales persons was very concerned that these terrorists might be on our flights to Las Vegas. While I personally thought it was very unlikely I did not want anyone killed while they traveled for the company. So I said just in case they might be on our flights, look for these terrorists on your flight. They will be very easy to spot 4 or 5 young middle eastern males sitting together in twos and threes in business and first class. They dead give away is that they will never give you eye contact. I went on to say if anyone spots them on their flight, they should get right off of their flight throw their ticket away and buy a new ticket. I further went on to say, "Do not say anything to anyone. Everyone is worth far more than the price of a ticket to Las Vegas." I went on to say "if you tell security these people were terrorists you will be immediately arrested not the terrorists. The security people will never arrest the terrorists but will for sure arrest them." I went on to say: "THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW THESE TERRORISTS TO GET ON THESE AIRPLANES UNMOLESTED AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS!" (The terrorists flew to California and then took National Airlines from Califronia to Las Vegas, the same airline on the same week end we did and were in Las Vegas the second week in June, the exact same week we were in Las Vegas for DAC. GO FIGURE) I had known about the FAA ruling that allowed passengers to board with 4-inch knives and had been worried about that since the middle 1990s, but was unaware that if two middles eastern people were questioned who were on the same flight because it was thought they might be terrorists, it was an immediate fine of $1.500,000.00. It looks like the FAA and Norman Mineta basically did everything they could to ensure the terrorists would not be stopped while getting on board an aircraft. I did not know this until after the attacks on 9/11.
To summarize: he figured it all out, he didn't document this at all, and you can read all about it after you buy his book. Enjoy.
