The Bush administration is promising swift action following the disclosure the U.S. Army’s top medical facility is in a state of major decay. A Washington Post investigation this week revealed the Walter Reed Army Medical Center has turned into what is called a “virtual town of desperation and dysfunction.” The paper reports finding hospital rooms infested with mouse droppings, cockroaches, stained carpets, rodents and black mold. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said President Bush only heard of the problems after they were detailed in The Washington Post. Snow said he does not know why Bush didn’t hear of them during several visits during his time in office.
