Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was admitted to Washington Hospital Center for a heart procedure, although was released from the hospital earlier today.
Rumsfeld was discharged Thursday from Washington Hospital Center, according to hospital spokesman Leroy Tillman. Tillman said that because of federal patient confidentiality regulations, he could not say how long Rumsfeld had been a patient, how Rumsfeld was doing or what unit had treated him.
A source tells The Crypt that the 74-year-old Rumsfeld was held overnight in a VIP section of the hospital, and that he underwent a heart procedure while there. Rumsfeld, the architect of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, served as Defense Secretary from 2001 to 2006, resigned the day after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate last November.
I'll post more when I know more.

I wondered if Rummy had a health problem when he retired. So, this doesn't surprise me.
Prayers for Rummy and his family.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may it be so ... Amen
