WASHINGTON - Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit for a severe case of gallstone pancreatitis, a painful condition that usually clears up within a week with treatment.

Justice Department (news - web sites) spokesman Mark Corallo said Friday the attorney general initially believed he had a stomach flu.
