...myself in a box. That would be death. I couldn't do that at all. I don't believe in the categories in the first place. I'm really trying to prove that there aren't categories that you have to stay in music, that you can branch out, you can touch others out there that have not been listening to you, if you keep trying...
...culpa was also about politics--an olive branch for the CIA. In an effort to put to rest the controversy about those 16 words, both Bush and Rice had pointed a finger at the agency, saying it had not conveyed its broad doubts about the intelligence. In response, the White House has been pelted with leaks (which Bush aides claim are coming from the CIA) that contradict Administration statements.

Term limits forced the Alabama Republican off the intelligence panel this year, but as new chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, he is setting up hearings aimed at terrorist funding. A Shelby aide says the hearings will have "the Executive Branch telling the committee what they've done with the Patriot Act," the post--9/11 law that expanded the government's antiterror capabilities. The aide says the hearings' focus will include the CIA and the governments of Saudi Arabia and Yemen--and what they're doing to stanch the flow...
