Did the name of the PDB about Bin Laden become public only after the 9/11
commission?

In F 9/11, Condi is being grilled and seems sheepish upon being asked about the title of the Daily Brief, "Bin Laden determined to strike within the US".

Was this the first time anyone in the public actually heard about it? Would it have remained secret otherwise?

1. I think maybe
I think the actual title only came out a few days before Rice's testimony before Congress. Before then, it was just "the August 6 PDB." I could be wrong.

3. That's my memory of it too...
The title was classified until Rice spewed it in her testimony.
If I'm not mistaken, she technically commited treason when she said that.
Her answer should have been "Yes, I do know the title of the briefing."

2. Did Fahrenheit 9-11 come out after the commission report? Because
I remember it was in that movie.

4. Yes, and there is bonus footage on the DVD of Bush after his closed
session with the commission.

He looked like a guilty kid who just got away with something and can't quite believe it.

That they demanded a closed session is quite telling. That they tried to hide the briefing name says a lot as well.

5. from what I remember about that PDB
the title,"Osama determined to strike inside the US." was revealed
during the 911 hearings by Skankoleeza Rice however on May 15 2002
someone leaked the fact there was a memo {probably more}about the Bush Crime Family having prior knowledge.On May 15 2002 the NY.Post
ran a front page story in 3 inch type, 911 shocker "BUSH KNEW" prez
was warned about terror attacks before they happened.The Bush Crime
Family was in a tizzy trying to deny that they had prior knowledge,it
{memo} was incomplete,historic,Skanky Rice denied any current warnings
was included with that memo,then we learn during the hearings the title of the memo.What's conveniently missing from the internet is the
last 2 paragraphs of the memo.I remember seeing the memo flashed on TV
and I"m sorry to not have taped that.It said,"weeks many many dead,
very very big uproar possibly using hijacked commercial jets as missiles to be crashed into skyscrapers".This document was written by
the CIA/FBI and delivered to asshole bush on August 6 2001.......
The secrecy to which this administration rules by is killing us.We need
and I hope soon another,"DEEP THROAT" will emerge.
