"Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the Aug. 6th PDB warned against possible attacks in this country?" commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste, a onetime Watergate prosecutor, said after Rice testified that the president had not been given specific warnings about such plots. "And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB?"

Rice replied, "I believe the title was 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.'"

It's been common knowledge for presidents for a long time that Bin Laden wished to strike the United States.

How does ammount to a warning, that could be acted upon, about September 11th?

Maybe if the title was "BIn Laden determined to crash planes in to the world trade center and pentagon" you've have something to stand on. But general intelligence does not a specific threat make.
