Comments on: Well Done Drudge http://poligazette.com/2008/02/29/well-done-drudge/ Politics and world events from a moderately liberal and conservative perspective Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:54:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: kritter http://poligazette.com/2008/02/29/well-done-drudge/#comment-28331 kritter Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:40:39 +0000 http://poligazette.com/2008/02/29/well-done-drudge/#comment-28331 I agree with Michael and Chris. Drudge should have honored the blackout, so that Harry could have remained in Afghanistan. BTW, I admire his willingness to serve in this way, and the British media's conspiratorial efforts to protect him. I agree with Michael and Chris.

Whatever is reported on the British tabloids, they at least honoured an agreement. The foreign media could not even begin to understand that nor do they care. Where are the royal equivalents from the US?  Not in the line of danger that is certain The opportunity for Harry to spend more time discovering himself has been blown by a bunch of tabloid guttersnipes.

Drudge gave far more specific information. Besides that, the magazines in question were... not exactly reputable as I understand it.

I don't see how you can blame Drudge for this, his own self-promotion notwithstanding. If it was in an Australian magazine, then it was out there, and if anybody in the British military was assuming it was still secret despite it being published in Australia, they're fool-hardy.

I agree with the both of you, incidentally. I'm no fan of monarchies, but it seems like the guy was actually making himself useful, and the media blackout was well justified. Drudge has contributed to endangering him and his comrades. Interesting Michael, this could be the first time I see you agreeing with Shaun about anything.
