Despite the british government's concerted effort to preserve the secret, a veteran Taliban field officer claims he was scarcely surprised by the disclosure that Prince Harry was serving with Britain's troops in southern Afghanistan. Fearing that insurgents would specifically target Cornet Wales (the prince's military title) and his fellow soldiers if his presence in the battle zone were publicly revealed, the top British brass did everything possible to prevent leaks about his deployment on Dec. 14 to Helmand province. But talking to newsweek via satellite phone from that region last week, deputy commander Mullah Abdul Karim recalled getting an urgent message from Taliban intelligence in late December or early January that "an important chicken" had joined British troops in his area of operations. Karim promptly sent his men hunting for the prince. "He is our special enemy," says Karim. "Our first option was to capture him as a prisoner, and the second, to kill him."

Yeah, terrorists never lie. Barf.
He did his job. Nothing more, nothing less. Give the guy some credit.
In a nation that is accepting Sharia law, it is not surprising that a Muslim traitor would let the terrorists know that the Prince was in theater.
So Newsweak has the phone number of a Taliban satellite phone (or vice versa)?
I don't suppose it occurred to them that the good guys might want that info.
Nah. To Newseak the Taliban are the good guys.
well, they would claim that, wouldn’t they?
How do you know a muslim is lying?
If he is speaking to an infidel(you and me for the uninformed), his lips are moving.
That was my thought. If Newsweek can just call the Taliban up, why not help OUR side with a little 411? Unless they aren’t on OUR side.
if newsweek can contact this dude, why don’t they give the info to our people?
“All the Talibanis say,
they could’ve had him any day
They only let him slip away,
out of kindness I suppose..”
I think you really know the answer to that.
I always atleast in the paper Prince Harry’s father was their friend??
By jove! I think you've got it!
The Prince of Wales has respect for the religion of Islam.
He is, in no way, shape or form, a friend of terrorists.
His goodfather, the man he regarded as his honourary Grandfather, Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, was blown apart by terrorists in 1979. Terrorists who called themselves Catholics, who called themselves Christians.
“recalled getting an urgent message from Taliban intelligence in late December or early January that “an important chicken” had joined British troops in his area of operations.”

So are any of the “Taliban intelligence” agents’s sources for that information,... liberal journalists?
Do you mean Texas?
The UK is not accepting Shariah law. The Archbishop of Canterbury was universally condemned when he suggested as much. And - here's the thing - he was also condemned by UK Muslim groups.
One word answer to the taliban....BULL$HIT !!!
