A grand gesture by Harry to go and the Brits should be proud of him but he is now an even greater liability for his exposure and they are rightfully pulling him out after the news leak...
UK pulls Harry from Afghanistan
(CNN) -- Prince Harry is to be pulled out of Afghanistan immediately amid fears for his safety after news of his deployment was made public, the British defense ministry said Friday.
I'm amazed they made it 10 weeks. Pretty good OPSEC.
Although one could always say that was part of the plan.
Two words...
... ef Drudge.
Ditto. It's too bad that getting a scoop is more important than protecting the lives of Britian's finest.Originally Posted by SWJED

Rule of Law in Afghanistan
"You must, therefore know that there are two means of fighting: one according to the laws, the other with force; the first way is proper to man, the second to beasts; but because the first, in many cases, is not sufficient, it becomes necessary to have recourse to the second." -- Niccolo Machiavelli (from The Prince)
Drudge put a soldier's life at risk for no other reason than because they could. I don't care if the soldier was a prince. Drudge went to far and has no credibility going forward.

An Australian magazine beat him to it by over a month
and Der Spiegel beat him by a week or so. The Australian mag was New Idea. Drudge gets the blame because he's Drudge, he's American -- and he has far more world wide viewers than the other two.
Not to excuse him, he shouldn't have done it. Just for the record.
Dang, and here they (CNN, HN, NBC) are saying it was Drudge that broke the news and now he's guilty of publishing and taking credit when he shouldn't....
