Prince Harry Pulled From Afghanistan

I was just reading the story of Prince Harry being pulled out of Afghanistan, because The Drudge Report cared more about it's "journalistic freedom", than the safety of Harry and his comrades in arms. This is the same Prince Harry than made news drinking, and wearing a Nazi uniform for a costume party,January 13th, 2005, so it is pleasing to see this young man turn into a different, and perhaps better person.

The British military decided Friday to pull Prince Harry out of Afghanistan "immediately" after news of his 10-week deployment was leaked by foreign media, the Ministry of Defence said.

The prince, a junior officer in the Household Cavalry, was posted in mid-December to the restive Helmand province of southern Afghanistan where British forces are fighting Taliban extremists. He was deployed under a cloak of secrecy following an unusual news blackout deal between the media and the army.

But the arrangement collapsed Thursday after news was leaked on the US website, the Drudge Report, which gained notoriety by revealing details of then US president Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.

As usual Drudge doesn't think they did anything wrong, which in itself is why he and his report should be held in contempt, by people who would rather have troops safe, than know details of where Harry or any other "celebrity" might be serving! Congratulations to the British press for putting its soldiers ahead of a story!
