And it was all downhill from there.
As it turned out, 17 November murdered the British defense attache a few months later, Stephen Saunders.
Stephen was a friend of mine.
We were next door neighbors.
And...
And a couple of months later, they mailed a manifesto to a leftist newspaper and they said in the manifesto, we saw the big spy, but we knew that he was armed and he was driving an armored car.
So we elected to carry out the revolutionary sentence on the war criminal Saunders.
Well, I got to the office and the chief said, he came just barging into my office.
He said, did you see the manifesto?
I said, what manifesto?
He said, the Saunders manifesto.
I said, they didn't leave a Saunders manifesto.
He said, no, they released it today and you're in it.
I said, what do you mean I'm in it?
He said, they set out to kill you that morning.
And I said, oh my God.
He said, you have to go.
I said, go where?
He said, home, like to Washington.
I said, I just dropped my kids off at school.
