Michael Hayden, a former CIA and National Security Agency director, was rushed to hospital this week after suffering from a stroke, according to his namesake think tank.
“He is receiving expert medical care for which the family is grateful,” George Mason University’s Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security said in a statement issued on behalf of Hayden’s wife Jeanine and the couple’s family.
“As General Hayden begins the healing process, the family requests that their privacy be respect,” the statement continued. “The General and his family greatly appreciate the warm wishes and prayers of his friends, colleagues, and supporters.”

Hayden served former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush as director of the National Security Agency. He then continued serving with the Bush administration as principal deputy director of national intelligence and CIA director. He stayed in his role at the CIA until February 2009 before he was replaced by Leon Panetta.
