More on Prince Harry

Thank goodness there is other news besides Anna Nicole Smith, like a prince going off to war. Now if the media is so concerned about Prince Harry and his safety, why do they constantly let out information like this?

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23386452-details/SAS+to+guard+Harry+in+Iraq/article.do

Prince Harry will be guarded by SAS troops, Prince Harry will be assigned this mission, Prince Harry will do this, Prince Harry will be stationed here, etc. The MOD needs to stop sharing information with the media about where Prince Harry is going, and about other security concerns. No wonder he's going to become a bullet magnet, the media has practically put him in the gallery.

The media have zero understanding of operational security issues. When the 2003 ground war was going on they complained to the MoD that Brigades would not tell them when an attack was going to take place!!!!!!! Doh!
IIRC the Goose Green attack in the Falkland Islands was similarly cursed by a media hungry cabinet minister.

Quite right St. Crispin, reminds me of the debacle in Somalia when US SEALs hit the beaches only to be greeted by reporters and TV cameras. Unbelievable.
