Front Line Harry

The Sun is reporting that Prince Harry is in Afghanistan fighting with British forces against the Taliban. Harry has been there since December on a secret mission. The British media agreed to keep the mission quiet to prevent the Taliban from seeking out the Prince. The media agreed to only publish the story when Harry was safely back home. The agreement was terminated after the Drudge Report published the news today.

He had planned to tour Iraq last year, but that was canceled due to security fears.

The HBIC of the British Army said, “I am very disappointed that foreign websites have decided to run this story without consulting us. This is in stark contrast to the highly responsible attitude that the whole of the UK print and broadcast media, along with a small number of overseas, who have entered into an understanding with us over the coverage of Prince Harry on operations. After a lengthy period of discussion between the MoD and the editors of regional, national and international media, the editors took the commendable attitude to restrain their coverage."

Why do they BOIL meat in England?
