File this one under Prince Harming. Apparently, Matt Drudge thought he had an exclusive on Prince Harry's whereabouts serving in the military in Afghanistan. It turns out that he didn't get the exclusive, but as Keith Olbermann points out on Thursday's Countdown, he does get all the blame - the blame for endangering Harry by revealing his location which had been kept a secret. More from The Independent UK:
An American website, the Drudge Report, broke a news blackout yesterday by revealing that Prince Harry has been serving in Afghanistan for more than two months.
To the fury of the Ministry of Defence and condemnation from the head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, the website announced a "world exclusive" and proclaimed: "They're calling him 'Harry the Hero!".
The article brought to an end an agreement with the media that the Prince's deployment to Helmand be kept quiet in the interests of his safety and that of the soldiers with him. [..]
"I am very disappointed that foreign websites have decided to run this story without consulting us. This is in stark contrast to the highly responsible attitude that the whole of the UK print and broadcast media, along with a small number of overseas outlets, who have entered into an understanding with us over the coverage of Prince Harry on operations," General Dannatt said. Read on...
Why does Drudge hate the troops and want them in harm's way?

the sludge report
It's almost as if... they WANT the terrorists to win!
me thinks Drudge will be getting payed a visit by some not so friendly Brits.
They take this stuff seriously.
Drudge just endangered part of the royal family.that's a nono.
and please don't attack me on this comment.
TO ANY AND ALL BRITISH SECRET SERVICE! Do us and the world a favour (please note the spelling), rendition Drudge. He's a waste of blogspace.
Drudge has managed to p*ss off one of our few remaining allies, further sinking our standing in the world community. We've become gutter dwellers.

Indeed, a short walk in a dark alley time.
Now, which kids of important people from the US are over there ?
#1. Joel: Touche. Drudge is worse than sludge. This is serious stuff--I travel back and forth to Britain and Scotland quite regularly and I am willing to bet everything that it was Murdoch's crappy, lousy newspaper or his Skye TV station, personnel who told that little sissy boy, Mattie aka Marie Drudge.
I just checked his site and he claims that Channel 4 in Britian is calling him a "hero".
What a turd.
Rico @ 5:
The UK relationship was the last special one to go I think, since Shahid Malik got targeted twice.
Dweller indeed.

So... Olbermann is making the situation better by furthering the discussion. At least he's scoring some points against an irrelevant, partisan know-nothing like Drudge. That completely justifies his sensationalizing of this story. You can tell that he doesn't want a lot of people learning this information, because it might be used by some retrograde, Murrow-wannabe demagogue for the wrong purposes...
Keeping troops out of harms way must be drudgery.
Jerry @ 6:
Sen Webb has a son over there.That's it I think.I could be wrong about that though.
as for a walk in a dark ally? yeah,They Will pay him a visit.
X @ 9:
This is in every newspaper, on every radio station and every news show on the planet. Its too late!
Their probably on their way right now.
if i had known, i would have reported it too. it's called news and news should be reported. how many people here think that the nyt should have reported the warrantless wiretapping prior to the 04 election instead of after?

damn Xoites,I can't call you X(for short) anymore.
I dare say the typical US criminal types driving things like this want the kid killed so they can try and whip up some hysteria in the UK to try and support the invasion of Iran or something .........
I know this is redundant, since we're talking about Drudge here, but:
What. A. **DOUCHEBAG**!!!
This is just one more piece of evidence to show how little these wingnut righties really care about the military and national security. More than that, it shows how little they *understand* it. They will jeopardize anything and anyone just to get people to pay them some attention, probably with absolutely no idea until after the fact just how badly they screwed up (and maybe still no idea even then).

===================
By that logic my mother who was a radio news reporter should have reported that D DAY was about to happen. It came accross the wire service immeadiatly followed by:
"KILL THAT! KILL THAT! KILL THAT!"
I disagree, reporters have a responsibility to keep information that will endanger people out of the news.
xoites defends Constitution @ 12:
By that logic, at least, we csn hold him to the same reporting standard as FOX or CNN. Joy.
I wonder where the Bush bitches TWINS are at? were they not in south america? oh thats right , they were kicked out via the goverment who asked them to leave.
Ok so you a blue blood dude go into the dirt face first and JUST where is the USA president daughters and Nephews and soon to be son in laws? Why havint they joined the rank and fight this ? WAR ON TERROR?
its can make a person laugh with contempt really.
Drudge is a narcisistic moron. Hope the Sandbaggers get him. Nail his arse to the wall boys!
whatever,, its a dumb prince.. we fought a war with that crown because kings and queens and the lot are a very, very stupid thing indeed.
he looks like a total tool in that picture mind you..
I suppose we can look forward to Congress condemning the Drudge report for this?
Well?
X @ 21:
My point is it is beyond being discrete. Everybody knows now.
Don't be too hard on Drudge -- he probably did it for greed, unlike Chevron Rice, who blew the Al Qaeda mole the British flipped, to the New York Times, which dutifully printed his name in their Paper of Disrepute.
She does it for treason; Drudge does it because he has the personal maturity of flounder.
xoites defends Constitution @ 26:
Discreet.
Well, ya know, furriners don't count.
Reminds me of the sketch on the Tonight Show where Geraldo identified Ann Frank's hiding place on the news.
This has been reported all day today. Keith was the last to report it.
xoites defends Constitution @ 26:
AUSSIE mag New Idea bosses say they had no idea they broke a media blackout on Prince Harry fighting on the front line in Afghanistan........
.....But New Idea magazine web site broke the news, followed by a German website then the influential American Internet page the Drudge Report. New Idea bragged of its breach claiming the exclusive was despite "opposition from senior members of the British government and the royal family itself"........
The Drudge Report wrongly claimed a "world exclusive" when its website yesterday screamed - "British Royal Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December - and has been directly involved in gunbattle".
Nice one, Drudge.
tr @ 14:
Uh, excuse you, but there is a big difference between news about illegal activities that the public deserves to know, and "news" about the movement of celebrities whose safety (and often *life*) would be put in danger by the report. Perhaps this slipped your mind, but when news got around a year or so ago about Harry having enlisted in the army, Al Qieda mouth pieces said that he would be targeted if deployed to the middle east.

Are you crazy? They threw Giraldo Rivera out of Afghanistan for giving away our troop position, and do you think it was alright to out Valerie Plame?
Loose lips sink ships.
Its time for Drudge to sleep with the fishes.
Drudge was waterboarded for the information.
As the right-wing keeps saying - we're in a time of war!
For revealing the position of our allies against our enemies, Drudge should be charged with treason, hauled out before the firing squad and shot!
Any arguments?
Shade Tail @ 33:
and they also said the wanted his head on a stick............no,really.
Otay @ 36:
In that case i will have to allow his logic to elude me.
No, no, no--Drudge loves the US troops. He could care less about those Brits after they went and leaked the Downing Street Memo stuff without consulting him first.
xoites defends Constitution @ 26:
My point is that sensationalization is a process of maintenance and facilitation of a topic. He is just as guilty as the others. He might say "Good night and good luck" at the end of his shows, but he's just as much of a shill as O'Reilly at the end of the day. If he really cared about bettering the situation, he wouldn't further the discussion. The truth is, however, that he doesn't care. He and his bosses are after ratings. Screw him.

Props to Harry for having the balls to go.
Now that we all know where he is, can we send him a couple of Shrublet twins to polish his princely staff??
Quiet Burp @ 48:
Do NOT keep "worm" water near your bed.
this is my reaction when i first read this story on the google news, as it was breaking:
get him the hell outta there… no one needs any more excuses to escalate this disaster…
get him out of there.

I was going to correct the typo but it was funnier the way it was!
The guys in the Prince's unit have nicknamed him "the bullet magnet". I want to laugh but the thought of all those blue collar kids having to protect the Prince's soft buttery bum makes me sad.
Drudge is an idiot, but the British army are the true buffoons.
There is no reason for someone of that stature to go in and cause unnecessary risk for his fellow soldiers.
Just cause the press agreed to black it out doesn't mean the enemy doesn't know. He's a huge high value target and the info could get out. If he was captured the British/U.S. might "negotiate with terrorists" in a way they normally wouldn't.
Harry has no business being there playing soldier. It's a publicity stunt to show he "built character" for later in life.
I guarantee he's heavily protected at the expense of his fellow soldier's safety. That's the real travesty.
Paul in LA @ 64:
Yes but, you don't see the privileged going from here.
If Olbermann was the one to blow the Princes cover republican politicians would be screaming from the top of thier lungs about how Olbermann is against the war on terrah!
Strawberrybitch @ 66:
It couldn't be thaaaaat bad, could it?
Same training?
"Why does Drudge hate the troops?".......are you guys friggin retarded? You're using the ass-hole Republican tactics on the Democrats for shit sakes.
He doesn't hate the troops it's just very poor judgement, poor taste and hi-ho American fucking greed.
Grudge is trying to be a "news hero" at the compromise of killing real heroes.
Or maybe it's just another American showing his thanks towards the allied forces. Jesus, I hope we'd get our Canuck forces out of Afghanistan and the peckerheads in this Bush Administration fend for themselves in this filthy, illegal war.
The Brits should kidnap Drudge back to the UK and waterboard his queer arse for 16 hrs.
X @ 9:
Spare me the "Murrow-wannabe demagogue" bullshit...Olbermann has done more to expose the BushCo criminals and right wing smear machine than anyone else in the MSM...by far.
tr @ 50:
First of all, Webb's son is not third in line to the British throne. Second, considering troop deployments in Afghanistan, saying that Harry is there narrows it down quite significantly.
Drudge needs to be thrown in prison [Don't advocate violence on this site-Sitemonitor]
Paul in LA @ 47:
Just to clarify, Bandar Bush laundered money to two of the Nine-eleven hijackers. Raw Story's Larisa Alexandrovna busts the story:
DRUDGE is hot to trot to blow the British Prince's cover, but he won't lift a finger to indict Prince Bandar, or his pal Prince Bush.
1. Drudge is a douche
2. Everyone has to stop treating this guy as anything resembling respectability.
AshWilliams @ 70:
The CNN footage I saw today showed the Prince manning an American made 50. cal. His hands didn't have a cut or scrape on them. Look at any career infantry soldier's hands. Scar city.
Well,
When MSM media is IN BED with the government, sometimes they have disagreements.
Prince Harry is not in any danger whatsoever. He has got LOTS of security with him. Just look how clean his uniform is. It looks like he just had a shower, and a manicure (not that I have problems with manicures, they're actually alright). The guy is smiling like families do at a yearly photo shoot, he's not at war. This is purely for political purposes on the part of the monarchy, but I'm sure Harry thinks it is a duty. Too bad he can't avoid the unequal protection he gets, which perhaps deep down he resents.
I think this story is not really about the safety of Harry, but rather a "respect" thing between government and the press, like the government expects to be in the loop for this, but the press went ahead anyway, which angered the people who want unearned respect.
Now, which kids of important people from the US are over there ?
Are you serious?
KC @ 73:
If it weren't for FOX, he'd have nothing to talk about. He'll be out of a job when a Democrat is elected - he won't be able to complain anymore. Maybe you could return the favor and spare me...

as an american, i don't recognize royalty. harry was well trained and wanted to go. he looked well armed and back up, i'm sure, is not far away.
I would take Otay's advice but i am afraid that instead of understanding your logic i might start using it.
i wonder if drudge still rules mark halperin's world. what a fucking asshole; i hope someone chugs a beer in his face.
Ron @ 68:
Again, incorrect. U.S. Senator Webb's son is there right now.

Shade Tail @ 74:
quite right.It's not like there's a lot of Brits over there.And I'm sure they all know where the Brits are in Afghanistan. Just like they know where all the US troops are.And there's less Brits than there is US. So that narrows it down quite a bit.
X @ 58:
The problem is, Keith isn't doing that. The story had already broken and was making the rounds. He didn't make it any worse. You're accusing Olbermann of letting the genie out of the bottle even though he arrived on the scene long after it was already out.
tr @ 82:
That's funny, because the British went through a year long scandal over his demand for deployment.
But since you don't 'recognize' the British Crown, it doesn't matter to you.

[Flamebait]
looks like we have ourselves a troll.
razanT @ 86:
You're talking to me? Look, dude. There IS NO WAY! The little prince is going to be sent out without extra protection. Ask any US military person who has dealt with a senator's or congressman's kid. A pain in the ass. Trust me on this one.
Harry didn't seem to mind the public at one time knowing that he was headed for Iraq. I seem to recall he was none too happy when that tour of duty was cancelled by his superiors. My guess is that he doesn't give a damn who does-or-doesn't know about his current whereabouts. He's a brave man, and a British officer. This is the job he has been trained to perform. Frankly, I'm surprised the information was kept under wraps as long as it was. Too, the fact the media finally reported it does not necessarily mean it wasn't common knowledge in other circles. Which is to say, that word of his deployment was already known to the Taliban. Be that as it may, his life is no more, or less, valuable than a National Guardsman from (say) Shitkicker, Arkansas, who currently finds herself on duty in the middle Iraq. And I've no doubt Harry would tell you the same thing.
Paul in LA @ 85:
So you think a retired Naval officer, recently elected Senator who's son was already in the military, is part of the elite and privileged. Wake TFU.
Well, no, Senator Webb's son is not currently deployed in Iraq.
"Jimmy is an infantry Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, and has recently returned from service in Iraq." (wikipedia0
Ron @ 101:
I do think that U.S. Senators are part of the elite and privileged. It's absurd to pretend otherwise.
Nonetheless, if the point is that the elites don't demand service in fake wars for oil, no, I agree, they don't. Except Prince Harry, who insisted until he got his way.
Drudge. That's the joke. Nothing more needs said really. People start laughing at the mere mention of the name. A website with "insider" info, that a seeing-eye-dog would lose it's vision trying to read it. Of all the websites out there, the one that is the crappiest, gets mentioned on the media all the time. The site looks like it was designed by a three year old.
razanT @ 100:
If i am not mistaken, Strawberry's husband is either in or recently returned from Iraq. I find it very enraging for anyone to call her an asshole especially when she knows what she is talking about and is one of those who has suffered from this war.
Now is this not the standard operatins proceedure for the republicanseudochristian all paitrotic bush supporting americans every where? Doesn't every republican use anything that might benifit them no matter how bad it may injure someone else.
I mean it's the same with Mrs Plame bush/chenny outed her and no telling how many covert agents got killed so they could have their war steal some oil and some money from the US treasury.
Repubgs do it over and over tell a pack of lies and people ignore it. WOW!
tr @ 82:
Ok, so you have no problem with jeopardizing the (potential) leadership of another country just because you have quibbles with their system of government. That's nice to know.
Irrelevant. When someone is being targeted, you don't reveal their location to the people targeting them. Whether or not the threatened person happens to be a trained soldier is not a mitigating factor.
Thank you Xoites. You are such a gentleman.
LongTooth @ 99:
I recall the story about Harry being very pissed off at his family for getting him pulled when his unit deployed overseas.

Strawberrybitch @ 98:
Being an ex-REG in the Canadian (we are part of thecommonwealth)...no, no DUDE...you better trust me.....the British soldier is different from the American soldier. Each one fights his own battle and carries his own weight. The confidence the infantry gains from the leadership of the mere presence of a Royal is something the US military should propose to the politicians. Lastlly, more Royalty were lost during the 1st & 2nd WW's than all kids of American politicians.
Strawberrybitch @ 109:
You are welcome, but i think you should speak up as well. :)
Strawberrybitch @ 78:
The CNN footage I saw today showed the Prince manning an American made 50. cal. His hands didn't have a cut or scrape on them. Look at any career infantry soldier's hands. Scar city.
I just had a vision of him calling over a fellow soldier to reload his weapon (I probly shouldn't laugh, though)
I totally agree with your post below. It's great he wanted to go.
But it really does have to be such a pain in the ass for his commander because A. he wants to be out there and he's the Prince, yet you have to balance that with his safety and B. God forbid... then the commander is on the line.
That really is a great point. It brings in a whole other aspect that shouldn't be on the minds of soldiers on the field.

mudshark @ 110:
Muddy, darlin'. I really believe The Prince wants to carry on a long and proud tradition. But gone are the days of valiant knights (except Xoites) leading troops into battle. Today we've got the Internet and very pissed off brown people who would love nothing more than to behead an heir to the thrown live for the world to see. And Drudge would show the unedited version.
Well it seems that Matt Drudge has stirred up all the hate and anger on the left once again.
Putting that all aside, and as someone who knows a bit about this, the fact is that obviously someone with inside information wanted this bit of info to be made public. You'll never know for sure who...could it be the British royal family, concerned for the prince's safety? Could it be the British military, concerned about the awkwardness of having the prince in the battlefield? There are plenty of others who would want this information out.
Venting the usual fascist left wing hate and anger about Matt Drudge may "feel" good, but it completely misses the point of what's really going on. Perhaps Mr. Drudge is giving the public too much credit for understanding what's really happening.
To clarify matters a bit more...ask yourself, who really benefits from this information being made public? (It ain't the Taliban or Al Qaeda).
mudshark @ 117:
Strawberrybitch @ 98:
I won't call you an A.H. Strawbery, but this poster is right. British military is nothing like US military when it comes to the royal family. They go to battle zones because it is considered part of their jobs. He won't get any special treatment and he is far from the first one in the family to be in a war zone. It is the ONLY respect I give the outdated monarchy.
X @ 95:
Oh really? Ignoring, for the moment, that he helped quite a bit by clearly pointing out who was at fault for this, what exactly would you have him do to make the situation "better"? Wave his magic wand to make Al Qieda forget about what they saw on the Drudge Report homepage?
Let's be clear about this: your criticism of Olbermann is absolute bunk. He didn't make the situation any worse; he merely reported on a story that was already out, which is his job.
This "controversy" is pretty contrived. Just check the British press, I don't sense any outrage. Drudge Report is pretty scummy, but this is just petty bickering between right and left media that no one cares about (except news junkies like us, of course!).

Is his job to report the news or to entertain people with pseudo-partisan hackery? My criticism of Olbermann is the same criticism that I attribute to the news media at large. He seems to have a problem with Drudge sensationalizing a story - so what does he do? He furthers the discussion of it. It just seems counter-productive.

And once again that is not an argument, at least one that has any merit. It is more of a (to put it kindly) misdirected attack.
xoites defends Constitution @ 144:
An elite with the elite, go figure. I heard their kinda khukri.
Israel dropped bombs on Palestinians today and killed over 20 people , including at least FIVE , 5 kids and it goes unreported on CNN, NBC, CBS etc. and this stupid non story is repeated every 15 mins on CNN , prince harry, prince harry ...hell with prince harry ...who gives a shit about prince harry .
His country is just as responsible as the for the carnage and destruction in Iraq , in addition the looting by his former Round Table Flunky , Tony Blair who proves war mongering is profitable by getting 1 million from JP Morgan , who also is profiting in Iraq.
And CNN so called news, talks about this for over 5 mins and THEN talks about again , with 2 people , over 10 minutes in an hour ..and they don't have the decency to report Israel killed over 5 kids , over 20 overall . Another example of sewage on cable and lying by omission by censoring Israels atrocities . That continuously gets covered up by CNN , CBS and nbc , treating Palestinians as not humans worth coverage .
Shit, now i am guilty of keeping this silly "argument" going because i commented. Yes, X i am now just as guilty as you. Worse because i pointed out what you said was specious.
forget drudge being a traitor....he and geraldo are on the same level
the story should make the bush family embarressed to go out in daylight
harry demanded to be put on the front lines
the twins demanded to have their allowances increased
and what about the other brothers....where are their kids?
oh, and if we wanna win back the whitehouse, whoever becomes the nominee, must take jim webb as the vp....his son served in a forward position...webb will shame the repugs into submission
