Shame On Drudge For Leaking News Of Prince Harry
This is from a post at Pajamadeen.
Ironically, it was American journalist Matt Drudge who leaked the news in a big way today that Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, was on active military duty in the Helmand province of Afghanistan. British media, not normally known for their restraint, had quashed the story and signed agreements with the British Ministry of Defense, promising not to reveal the prince’s whereabouts lest Prince Harry or his fellow soldiers be put in danger, such as by becoming the Numero Uno targets of the Taliban.
The Prince, who arrived in Afghanistan on Christmas Eve, commented today that it had been nice to be just a regular person. He apparently only planned to stay until April. Was it really asking too much to leave the story on the back burner until then? Shame on you, Matt Drudge. Occasionally, discretion is the better part of valor.

Hi Catherine,
Am glad to see you liked the story and gave it a fuller title. When I wrote it, I was so ^&%^&*@^&) mad that I didn’t think to make the title a little longer.
Best,
PJ
