Officials familiar with the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation also say analysts warned against U.S. domination in the region, which could increase extremist recruiting. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the report's declassification is not finished. It could be made public as soon as this week. The committee also found that the warnings predicting what would happen after the U.S.-led invasion were circulated widely in government, including to the Defense Department and the Office of the Vice President. It wasn't clear whether President Bush was briefed. Asked to comment on Wednesday evening, the White'House's National Security Council did not directly respond to the report's findings that intelligence analysts predicted many of the troubles ahead in Iraq before the invasion. Spokesman Gordon Johndroe said Iran must stop providing training and weapons to fighters there. ; • Revisiting Utah's Past: All day @ Utah "'• Museum of Fine Arts ' . • "Les MisSrables": 8:00 p.m. @ Pioneer Memorial Theatre Saturday • Revisiting Utah's Past: All day @ Utah Museum of Fine Arts • "Les Miserables": 2:00 p.m. @ Pioneer Memorial Theatre p 'Sunday ' Revisiting Utah's Past: All day @ Utah Museum of Fine Arts \u -DAY WEATHER OUTLOOK 3 Friday 78/58 "We also continue to take the fight to al-Qaida, who are trying to destabilize Iraq and create a safe haven to plan attacks on the U.S. and our allies/' he added. The report comes as the administration is facing renewed criticism for failing to execute adequate post-invasion plans to stabilize Iraq after Saddam Hussein was toppled. Meanwhile, the White House has been trying to make the case that Iraq cannot be abandoned. The committee's findings are weapons of mass destruction.

"You don't just go HAVANA—A statement signed by Fidel Castro sought to reassure Cubans Wednesday that the 80-year-old leader was recovering well from difficult surgery, saying his weight was stable and he was eating solid foods after months of intravenous feeding. In the most detailed assessment of Castro's health since shortly after he fell ill almost 10 months ago, the statement said: "It wasn't just one operation, but various. Initially it wasn't successful and that had a bearing on my prolonged recuperation." The message, sent by e-mail to foreign journalists and expected to be published in state newspapers Thursday, did not say when Castro might appear in public again or retake Cuba's presidency. It also said Castro was now taking all medicines orally. Castro shocked Cuba in July when he announced that he had undergone intestinal surgery and was ceding power to his 75year-old brother Raul, the defense minister. He has not been seen in public since and his condition and exact ailment have been state secrets, though top officials have insisted he is recuperating steadily. A January story in the Spanish newspaper El Pais described Castro as being in "very grave" condition after at least three failed operations. It was denied by the Cuban government. "I tell everyone simply that I am getting better and maintain a stable weight of about 80 kilograms (176 pounds)," Wednesday's statement said, adding that the greatest risks to Castro now are age and the effects of not taking proper care of his health over the years. "No danger is greater than those related to age and health, which I abused in risky times," the statement said. . The statement said that for weeks after Castro stepped down, Cubans and foreigners spoke about a date he might appear reappear "with my olivegreen uniform." 56 Uko some ACROSS 37 " the latest chapter in its four-year investigation into the prewar intelligence assessments on Iraq.

Sparks, 17, of Glendale, Ariz., prevailed over Blake Lewis, 25, of Bothell, Wash., after a triumphant performance Tuesday that wowed the show's judges and the viewers who gave her a majority of the record 74 million votes cast. "Mom, Dad, I love you," Sparks, the daughter of retired NFL player Phillippi Sparks, said tearfully after a bearhug from Lewis. In an interview backstage with The Associated Press, the overwhelmed winner recalled talking with her dad about how she used to watch him sign autographs. Sparks said he told her, '"You're more famous than me now.' And I was like, 'Oh, Dad, that's so weird."' Did she feel she grew as an artist during the competition, as the series' judges remarked? "I totally think I did," Sparks said. "I've just been trying to top myself each week..,I would sing my song and then after I was done I was, l OK, what am I going to do next week that's going to bel.-just as good or better." The contest came down to either the stronger singer, Sparks, or the better entertainer, Lewis. Sparks delivered her songs simply and powerfully; Lewis' flourishes included his beatbox sound effects and sharp dance moves. Even the famous were gushing over Sparks. "She is an awesome singer," finale performer Smokey Robinson said backstage. "She sings so good, it's hard to believe she's 17. To sing like that you would have to have lived for a long time. She's an old soul." The finale pulled out the stops and the stars, with Gwen Stefani, Tony Bennett, Bette Midler, Green Day and more singing.

Midler took the stage as the show came toward its close, singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings." Past "Idol" winners and this season's contestants got a hefty share of attention, starting with first-season winner Kelly Clarkson. She performed her new single "Never Again," with the gritty rock song matched by her black dress and thighhigh boots. Carrie Underwood, the fourth-season idol, sang "I'll Stand by You" and was honored by legendary music mogul Clive Davis for reaching 6 million in sales for her debut album, Some Hearts. Taylor Hicks, last season's winner, also had his moment in the finale sun, as did Ruben Studdard, the winner from year two. News 801 581.NEWS ASST.
