Drudge and Harry
Why doesn’t in ? Why does he hate them so much that he would deliberately increase their risk of being harmed?
LONDON — The defense ministry announced on Friday that , the third in line to the British throne, would have to come home from Afghanistan because it was too risky for him to stay there.
Harry, 23, has been in Helmand Province with the British Army since December with the knowledge of most of the Britsh new media, who agreed to keep the news secret for security reasons. Details of his deployment only became widely known when they were reported by on Thursday and the British media decided that the agreement was off.
The defense ministry said in a statement that although Harry had been expected to remain in Afghanistan for a few more weeks with his unit from the Household Cavalry Regiment Battlegroup, “the situation has now clearly changed.” As a result, the chief of the defense staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, had decided “to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately,” the ministry said.
“This decision has been taken primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual soldier,” the statement added. (more at the NYT)
Even a total idiot would know that by blowing Prince Harry’s cover any troops serving in the same zone as him would be put in tremendous peril. Not only should he be shunned (no reasonable person would ever read his anyway) but he should be arrested and jailed for deliberately providing aid to the enemy by revealing the presence of Harry there.

Agreed. Drudge should be subject to the same laws as Joe Average. If Joe Average were to have done this, Joe Average would be immediately branded a terrorist aider and arrested under the Partiot Act and Military Commissions Act (which calls for secret arrests, expatriation, secret trials, and secret executions). If Joe Average is subject to the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act, then so should Drudge.
