Breaking the Prince Harry story is, IMHO, bordering criminal. As recent history has been plainly made clear to us all, the news exposure of Prince Harry possibly going to Iraq spurred verbal threats from enemy groups who talked about placing a rather high bounty on him. It also placed all who was in his presence in a much higher degree of danger.
This is another example of why so-called hard-news media outlets gets slammed with accusations of turning into cheap-shot tabloids.
I happen to catch a comment from a Jon Snow, British journalist, who made the comment something like, "Thank God for Drudge who was able to break one of the best keep secrets of modern time." Does the guy have zero respect for human life? It's one thing to harrass celebrities by constantly following them around keeping a close monitor on every breathe that they take, but Prince Harry's life will now probably be in harms way no matter where he goes hince forth because of the Drudge story headline "Royal in Afganistan Kills 30 Taliban".
I can imagine what headlines and the public response would be like if a radical terrorist member of the Taliban attempts or successfully assinates Prince Harry after he returns home and is just trying to live as normal life as possible. What a trophy kill he'd make now. The income media would made off either an attempt or assination would be an extrordinary amount of money. Britney Spears made $150 million for media just in 2007.
