    That's my point, F_B. Had Drudge never reported this, his tour goes unnoticed there and he's just another British soldier.
    Now, he's got a target on his back. And probably will be pulled.

    Of course it's now out, because of Drudge.
    Well, I guess we can lock this thread now because the great JR doesn't deem it worthy.

    Harry, who is third in line to the throne, has been in Afghanistan since December. The deployment was not reported due to an agreement between the Ministry of Defense and news organizations, including The Associated Press.

    The story was leaked by an Australian magazine and a German newspaper.



    Oh, oh...did Fedora Fruity lie?
    Nahhhhhh, couldn't be.

    Drudge? Ethics?
    Talk about a contradiction in terms.
    Here's one thing I always wondered...why hasn't someone come along and done a similar thing in not such a politically slanted, sleazy way? You know there's got to be some crackerjack reporter on the East Coast or L.A. who could do a similar thing that would be just as big. I'm surprised Google or Yahoo or AOL hasn't tried to do a similar thing, based on all the hits Drudge gets.
    The other thing, is why are the ads on Drudge's site so cheezy? Ann Coulter columns, weight loss crap, some online thing to pick McCain's VP. My God, he gets more hits than just about anyone...couldn't he get a better class of advertisers?

    Oh, piss off.

    What I said was it's much ado about nothing.

    And the link to the Channel Four "news" gives an anonymous quote. Reads like Page 6

    People knew Harry was going there months ago. Not news.

    Boom, your sense of humour has always been infantile.

    Now you're regressing. Pretty soon you'll be sucking your thumb.

    I love ya JR ... but it's definitely news. I'm not sure where I stand on everyone sitting on it, but now that's it out, it's news.
