“Nakweyiphi na imeko, kwafuneka ndibandakanyeke ekuthunyelweni njengoko yayindim ndedwa umntu owayenamava ngenkqubo yomkhosi yokupakishwa nokuthunyelwa kwayo. Sasisondela kumhla wokuqala wokuthunyelwa kwempahla, ngoko ndatsalela umnxeba kwisajini yonikezelo, endandiyilima ngocoselelo ngesidlo sasemini neebhiya ukuze kungabikho ngxaki kwelo cala. Besinengxaki, nangona kunjalo, ngotshintsho lobunjineli olusisinyanzelo lwenza iindleko zokufumana iiPCB ezintsha zenziwe kwaye zitshintshwe ngexesha ukuhlangabezana neshedyuli ibize kakhulu. Kwaye emva koko uSaddam wahlasela iKuwait. Ngoko ndabiza usayijini ndaza ndambuza (ngaphandle kokuphelelwa lithemba kakhulu kwilizwi lam, ndinethemba) ukuba ukuqhambuka kobutshaba kuya kuba nefuthe kwishedyuli yethu. Ndakhululeka waphendula ngelithi ebefuna ukulibazisa ukuthunyelwa kwethu, ebezama ithuba lokunditsalela umnxeba, ebexakeke ngumsindo ngalomzuzu. Ndaphendula ndathi ewe, imele ibe ngumsebenzi onzima ukulungiselela uhlaselo nokugcina imikhosi yethu ekhaliphileyo ifika emva kwayo. (Ndandihamba ngebhayisekile iimayile ezili-18 ukuya emsebenzini ndinophawu ngasemva kwibhayisekile yam oluthi, “Ibaleka ngebhiya yase-US, hayi iOyile yaseMbindi Mpuma, Akukho Mfazwe yeOli.”) Wathi, “Hayi, akunjalo. . Sineendawo zokugcina iimpahla ezizele zizinto ezigciniweyo esingazidingiyo okanye esingazifuniyo. Ekubeni ngoku kuqhambuka imfazwe, kufuneka ndiyithumele ngenqanawa yonke kwindawo enemfazwe ukuze sivakalise ukuba itshatyalalisiwe size siyikhuphe ezincwadini zethu.' Ndavele ndaphelelwa ngamazwi, ndambombozela into endandinqwenela ukuba ngengazange andixelele yona.”
