Afghanistan

There’s a major debate going on regarding Prince Harry’s tour of duty in Afghanistan. The UK press and agencies like Reuters knew about Harry’s service and all agreed to hold the story until Harry, 23, came home. How the cut-throat UK papers were persuaded to do this is amazing in itself. There were ‘hints” about Harry in the German and Australian press but The Drudge Report blew it out of the water. Harry had been really happy fighting the Taliban for ten weeks because he was “just one of the guys” with no special privileges. Now he’s been dragged home but still hopes to return to combat. The debate continues: Was it right for The Drudge Report to out Harry? Was it wrong for the news agencies to make that deal and suppress the story? What’s your opinion?
