Aspen police Sgt. Bill Linn said the four-star general told him it appeared
to be a combination of altitude sickness and something he ate.
"He is conscious and in very good spirits," Linn said shortly before Powell was
released from Aspen Valley Hospital at 1:45 a.m. Linn said Powell asked him
to speak with reporters.
