It was originally published in Australia in the first week of Jan. You people are unreal. Funny the Brits are happy that Drudge broke the story. I also don't see you getting upset about the quid pro quo TO WHICH HE WAS NOT A PARTY. Is no one upset tha the media took advantage of it's position? Oh hell no you just want to hate on Drudge. The only people who should be ashamed of themselves are you people. Unbelievable. <em>Mark's last blog post..<a href='http://markljackson.net/2008/03/01/ap-attacks-bloggers/' rel="nofollow">AP attacks Bloggers</a></em> Drudge didn’t even break the story.

So, I don't get the <i>value</i> of the story in this case. The guy was there doing his job - what he's been trained for. Drudge breaking the story did - NOTHING to inform the public of an issue of import to their lives - NOTHING to make things safer for any troops deployed - NOTHING to bring the world needed information He simply made one young man's life very unhappy... all for a "scoop". I have disliked Drudge for a long time - this puts the seal on it. I won't be stopping there again if I can help it. I don't care what story he gets as a "scoop". The man is a jerkwad.

So, I don’t get the value of the story in this case. The guy was there doing his job – what he’s been trained for. Drudge breaking the story did

- NOTHING to inform the public of an issue of import to their lives
- NOTHING to make things safer for any troops deployed
- NOTHING to bring the world needed information

He simply made one young man’s life very unhappy… all for a “scoop”.

Tread very lightly! I got my ass chewed on one forum for a flippant thought that maybe the Royals arranged the leak in order to have reason to bring Harry back home safely, heir to the throne and whatnot. Just don't even go there. Hell if I know where it all started, all I know is that Drudge is an absolute prick for endangering lives. Copying the link.

Then Drudge decided everyone should know about it, and considering his status as "America's bulletin board", he knew it would get spread worldwide. He made that choice in order to tally up another 'scoop' for himself, and with no regard to the safety of those serving alongside Prince Harry, much less Harry's safety. No class. No. That Australian story ran in January, and as you can see it didn’t get picked up anywhere else (because of the widespread recognition that publicizing Prince Harry’s location would endanger troops).
