Why are none of the talking heads condemning Matt Drudge for putting troops in danger
by outing Prince Harry's presence in Afghanistan?

Not a word from the media about this asshole.

3. This doesn't belong in GD:P and there's no outrage because this
was manufacturered. The royal family is a PR machine. You've been punked.

4. IMHO, it's all theater.
The Prince gets to serve in a war zone. But not for long.

Long enough for many folks, though.

Prince comes home a hero. His comrades remain behind.

Drudge was the fortunate leakee.

5. I thought Drudge linked to an Australian website that had the story
Drudge just gave that website some publicity, but he didn't technically out the Prince.

13. Some say an Australian URL, some say German -- but for some reason no one looks at that closely ...
as I would think logic would compel observers to do

8. Because it is to their benefit to report on where's Harry
instead of how miserably things are actually going there in Talibanland, I mean Afghanistaliban...Fields and fields of poppy land... Afghanistan.
