I have been wounded like this since about half past eight this morning and I will tell you how it happened.

Secretary of State Colin Powell, thank you so much, as always, for joining us this morning.

'Tis always morning somewhere in the world.

In the morning he was lying dead on one of the beds fully clothed. He was dead. I got the impression he wanted to go, and I must have killed him. I can't remember strangling him. I just sat there shocked.

I knew, however, that the next morning after the fight I would have to get away, and I did just in time, for a full company came early to look for me and were furious because I had escaped them.
