So Prince Harry has Been Serving on the Front Lines of Afghanistan. Guess who Blew his Cover??

[MadBadger]

Drudge

Just heard it on MSNBC

Shameless.

[Muttocracy]

1. shameless on both - of them, for reporting and repeating

What's Bob Novak up to these days either?

[Lex]

2. Drudge should be sent over to take Harry's place

on the front lines.

That would only be fair.

[Peregrine Took]

5. I would pay good money to see that. Never in a hundred billion years would

it happen, though...

[originalpckelly]

3. I know, heard the same.

:puke:

Dude has absolutely no honor.

[BonnieJW]

4. Guess who's going to be Keith's Worst Person?

[w8liftinglady]

6. it's times like these that bring the word "Motherfucker" to my lips..

forgive me.Let that pasty-face wimp try to do what Harry's doing.For that matter=put Paris Hilton, Brandon Davis...and the other pampered few get their pussy asses on the front line.

7. CNN...had footage ready to go...as if it had been prepared in advance...

:shrug: They just showed a big feature on him ...and it didn't look thrown together at the last minute. Even showed that he was "marked by the Taliban." I figured it was just more of CNN's warmongering for sensationalism.

[MadBadger]

8. I think the media knew, but for Harry's sake kept quiet.

[Zywiec]

9. Why would we want them to do that?

Don't we enjoy a free press? What else should the media keep from the public?

:shrug:

[MadBadger]

10. The press had the right to release the info, but they did the humane thing

Drudge didnt.

[mcctatas]

11. well there's the problem...

humane behavior would imply drudge is a human not the steaming pile of elephant shit that he is

[MrCoffee]

12. Because 3rd in line to the throne = giant bulls-eye

and the other non-royal members of his unit = sitting ducks.

I think it's admirable of him to serve his time, but we don't have to make it quite so damn easy to target him and his unit just because it's him.

[orleans]

13. exactly, n/t

[yvr girl]

14. Exactly - he didn't want to put his fellow soldiers in extra danger

As to CNN's coverage, they were prepared just restrained. The media were able to interview him prior to and during deployment with the proviso that they would hold off release of the info until he returned home.

Here's lots of coverage from a British paper.

15. He's no more special than any other solider there

[Ilsa]

16. He's no more special, but he is a more likely high-value target.

[SoonerPride]

17. We all look alike to them anyhow

I keed I keed.

[Ilsa]

21. LOL. Yeah, no beards to differentiate our faces! nt

[RB TexLa]

18. I have no concern what kind of target someone feels he is. Personally I think the cost of the

bullet has more value.

[MrCoffee]

19. The cost of the bullet is worth more than a human life?

Interesting.

[RB TexLa]

20. some

[Ilsa]

22. More value than a soldier? nt

[RB TexLa]

23. than a britsh royal

[Lex]

24. kick

:kick:

[Arctic Dave]

25. I'm sure all the news

outlets knew. They were probably told to run the story for propaganda purpose. The military numbers are down. They needed a new recruitment angle to sell to the moms and pops of the canon fodder.
