Who was determined to strike where?

The White House declassified a memo this week that Bush received as his "president's daily brief" on Aug. 6, 2001. What was the name of this memo?

Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S. [Guardian UK]
Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US [KC Star]
Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US [Boston Herald]
Bin Ladin Determined to Strike Inside the US [Boston Globe]
Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in the US [Boston Globe]


Is it "Bin Ladin" or "Bin Laden"? Is it "US" or "U.S."? "In" or "Inside"?

The Smoking Gun has a copy, so we can answer that question for sure: Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US.

Does capitalization matter? If you think so, the T in to is capped, but the I in in is not.

And while we're on the subject, there's no reason to call this a PDB just because the White House does. That B stands for brief, and that's good enough for me.
