Prince Harry

Okay Okay you all know I am a fan.....but just have to say I am so impressed with Prince Harry.
Maybe it is because I am Canadian & I still feel a relationship with the Monarch.....after all my family is originally from England.
Anyway I am glad he made it home safely. As well I am impressed so many journalists kept the secret for so long.

I always liked him because he reminds me of my own Navy boy son, Caleb. They've got similar little grins.

Just wish they would have kept quiet for another six weeks. Hats off to him, he got a lot of respect by me.

When they were boys, I always thought Prince William was the cutie. Now that they are older, I think Harry is quite the babe. I'm glad he had the opportunity to fulfill his dream to be "just one of the lads," as he said.

I also bow to him for doing the dangerous service he was trained for.
And I am sad that due to Drudge spilling the beans he had to fly home so abruptly- also because in interviews he said this was the first time in his life that he could live like a normal person and was not hounded by paparrazi or recognized everywhere (although that sounds a bit weird given the fact that he was living normal for the first time in a war zone).

I wouldn't be surprised if they deployed him a second time after things have cooled off, now that they know that blackout deals with the media work (mostly).

Got to give the lad credit, good for him.

Stupid freakin' media ...sad that they couldn't respect the need for keeping it quiet like the British media did. although I bet the Royals all breathed a sigh of relief that he is coming home.

Sludge Report - cretins.

Grossly stupid and irresponsible. Many lives could have been put in even more danger than usual.

What's worse - it came from an ally.

Although I'm suprised our idiot press kept quiet. Harry was too.

I wouldn't be surprise if it was leaked on purpose just to show the world that the Prince did serve his Country.

If I'm wrong then kudos to him.

And, according to news sources, he had over 40 Taliban kills! Bravo.

Just curious, were you mad at the NYT's 58 days of front news coverage of Abu Ghraib pics?

I doubt it...it was an American new source that leaked it- why would they care?

The Brit sources agreed to keep it quiet in exchange for interview rights later.

Can they sue the Drudge Report for endangering lives?

it may all be for naught anyway....the mission in Afghanistan not doing too well....the Taliban are getting stronger. Too bad we don't have more help in there.

The Americans and Britains are very close, who knows what kind of arrangements they make. Then again, what do I know, I'm just a little plain citizen who happens to have an opinion.
