WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department says Attorney General Eric Holder was taken to the hospital Thursday as a precaution after experiencinghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png (http://www.myfoxaustin.com/story/24840917/holder-hospitalized-as-precaution-for-faintness#)faintness and shortness of breath at work.
A department statement said said Holder was "resting comfortably and in good condition" at a Washington hospital after feeling the symptoms during a morning meeting with senior staff.
