How should Drudge be dealt with for his latest stunt?

I'm baffled! To what end will this man go to aggrandize himself and his "career." Endangering the lives Prince Harry and his Afghan contingent - for what - to reveal what was common knowledge to many responsible reporters. Surely, he can't be credited with a meaningful "scoop." All associated with this act should be held accountable. Maybe it's fatwa time in the US, at least advertiser boycotts.

    This is what really happened!

    The story was published in Australian tabloid magazine New Idea last month but not followed up by other media.

    In an article on its website dated January 7, the magazine - nicknamed in Australia 'No Idea' - reported that Harry had seen front line action in Afghanistan despite opposition from the British government and members of the Royal family.

    New Idea said it could "exclusively reveal" that the "maverick prince" had already seen front-line action.

    The story was then picked up by a German newspaper and, yesterday, the US-based Drudge Report website, triggering world wide interest.

    So you see it is not a 'new' story, nor is it exclusive.

    Now please let this be an end to this 'non story'.

    Sorry, fool.

    He has the same right of Free Speech as you.

    Perhaps the Royal Family should have gotten an agreement with him, as well?

    Perhaps you could emigrate to Great Britain where the government tells the press what to write?

    What you propose is illegal.

    I had one suggestion. That this skumbucket be given back his straight jacket he once wore.

    This is the kind of thing the Bolsheviks did for the Russians, pointing people out and putting them in harms way - or even death.

    Irresponsible

    But, that was part of the Unknown War - during and after WWII - read up on it - History seem to be repeating itself - Who is this "Idiot" exposing?

    You can read about him.

    It's too bad we can't just run Drudge out to Afghanistan and let him replace Prince Harry. He needs to be on the front lines having his precious a** being shot at, and maybe hit?!?!?

    I think he should have to abide by the 1st Amendment.
