What do you think of the Drudge Report outing the Prince Harry military assignment?

[Scoops]

I think it's awful....obviously the whole British press corp knew and kept it silent out of security for not only the Prince but for his fellow soldiers.

If anything bad had happened it would have been unforgivable....and for a scoop that most news people had anyways?

Bloggers and internet "news" people are basically hacks....and this proves it.

I think it is disgusting. They must know that when that got out, that they wold be puting him and his fellow soldiers in harms way. Scum!

[Jinh]

I agree...very unfortunate...a totally selfish thing to do...: (

[SavhLaney]

Wow, the British press kept something quiet? Aren't they usually worse than our press with publishing things?

A very low thing to do. For safety's sake I Hope that Prince Harry has been evacuated out by now.

from People.com

Prince Harry has been pulled out of Afghanistan by British army chiefs and is heading home, PEOPLE has confirmed.

His position as a frontline soldier became untenable once the news broke Thursday that he had been secretly fighting against the Taliban since before Christmas.

"Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken ... to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately," the Ministry of Defense confirmed in a statement. "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."

Planned to Stay Until April
The 23-year-old – who is a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry – had been scheduled to stay on the front lines in the country until April. But "the situation has now clearly changed," the statement continues, calling the news leak by some foreign media outlets "regrettable."

The decision is likely a major disappointment for the prince, who has said in a series of interviews that he was relishing the opportunity to put his training into action.

"[I finally get the chance to actually do the soldiering I wanted to do from ever since I joined," he told reporters, including the U.K.'s Press Association. Of his late mother, Diana, he added, "Hopefully she would be proud."

Harry's performance had been called "exemplary" by the British army head. "He has been fully involved in operations and has run the same risks as everyone else in his Battlegroup," said the chief of general staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt. "He is a credit to the nation."

It is not known when Prince Harry is due back in the U.K.

That's just a travesty. There is "scoop" and then there is "scoop". They should be ashamed of themselves. To me, this is a prime example of where our journalists are headed. And these guys gave journalism a bad name....

To me it's absolutely amazing and commendable that someone of Prince Harry's stature is fighting on the front lines. He could have just lived a life of royal excess and privilege but he chose not too. Can you envision Barbara or Jenna Bush or any other President's children doing this? I don't see it.

Isn't Presidential hopeful Senator John McCain's son currently serving overseas?
