PRINCE HARRY FIGHTS ON FRONTLINES IN AFGHANISTAN; 3 MONTH TOUR Thu Feb 28 2008 11:01:34 ET

**World Exclusive**

They're calling him "Harry the Hero!"

British Royal Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December -- and has been directly involved in gun battle, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The prince, a junior officer in the Blues and Royals, and third in line to the throne, has been a "magnificent soldier" and an "inspiration to all of Briton."

Hey, Matt Drudge, Prince Harry's life is more important than your damn news scoop!

I’ve just lost all respect for Drudge. What an ass. Don’t you think there was a GOOD REASON the others weren’t supposed to tell?

Ditto that, also the life of his fellow soldiers as Harry would be a prime target. Prayers for Harry and his brothers in arms.

They probably leaked it on purpose.

Don’t blame Drudge. The thing to worry about is the BBC/ABC/NBC/PBS/Reuter reporter who’s struggling to find out the Prince’s location so that he/she can notify the muzzies.

“Editors have been sworn to secrecy over Prince Harry being sent to fight in Afghanistan three months ago. Drudge has blown their cover. One wonders whether viewers, readers and listeners will ever want to trust media bosses again.”

Shame on Drudge for releasing that information.

Just disgraceful.

Drudge wasn't the first to pick this up.

Don't let this stop you from overreacting though.

Now that this broke he will be yanked home so fast he'll have windburn. Drudge should have kept his big mouth shut on this, no one needs to know about his deployment unless he is finished and is returning home.

He just put a huge bounty on prince Harry's head and the muzzy assassins will be tripping over themselves to get a shot at taking him out for the glory of Allah and their 72 virgins.

It’s not really Harry’s life that is at stake. He’ll have to be shipped home. It’s his chosen career. Of course, the Royals used to fight all the time so maybe they just have to suck it up and let it be open like it used to be before they were just a bunch of panytwaists running around screwing their mistresses and supporting green building processes or whatever it is that thier King in eternal waiting does with his time. I don’t blame Drudge for running it: His career benefits, Harry’s is hurt. Big deal.

I’m sure the BBC and liberal morons in the UK are calling him a war criminal.

The UK media have known about this for a couple of months, but agreed not to broadcast anything.

Don’t blame Drudge.

Drudge broke it. Everyone else in the media had kept silent about it until now.

If I read correctly, the story was broken by an Australian paper, then followed by a German one. It’s reprehensible. I’m proud of the Prince, but wish I didn’t know enough to feel that pride.

Matt Drudge was right to expose the story. The story of Prince Harry’s bravery should be told. And it’s not like some rag-tag group in Afghanistan is going to be able to infiltrate the British combat units. If he’s in a firefight, they will be trying to shoot him because he is a British soldier anyway! Bravo, Matt Drudge. Scooped the entire UK media!
