Prince Harry Serving in Afghanistan

First, I'm completely amazed that the media in Britain agreed to keep this under wraps and has done so for so long. What I'm completely not impressed with is the fact that the U.S. based Drudge Report "leaked" the information to the public.

This blackout on reporting was not put into place as some game. It was to protect not only Prince Harry but every other military member who is serving with him or in his vicinity. It is utterly ridiculous that the information was released when it was made clear that it was for the safety of all of those who were involved. It is amazing what some people deem as newsworthy just so they can make a buck.

To say that this lack of integrity and ethics infuriates me is an exteme understatement. Thankfully, they are bringing Prince Harry back to Britain to hopefully avoid any further breach of his safety and the safety of those who serve with him. It's sad that he was not allowed to complete his service in Afghanistan (as he obviously felt a strong calling towards it) because the Drudge Report wanted to get the scoop.

AMEN!!! I was so pissed when I found out that this was leaked. Why do some members of the media feel that it is their right to know everything and tell everything. Honestly, some things we, the public, don't need to and shouldn't know.
