By now, everyone and his brother knows that Britain's Prince Harry has been removed from his duty post in Afghanistan for safety reasons following the exposure of his location on the right-wing "Drudge Report" smear blog. Nicely played, Sludge, he of the pseudo- 1940's private eye hat. Sadly, unlike much of the junk on the "Drudge Report," this proved to be correct. Looks like he's the one that "hates the troops."
The typical feeding cycle for the media seems to be: wingers leak "information" or just plain crap to Sludge, it's breathlessly posted on his blog, and the mainstream media runs with it as if it's sourced and reliable. After all, as Time's Mark Halperin famously said, "Drudge rules our world."
Too bad we can't stuff this inauthentic creep into a uniform, ship him off to Iraq or Afghanistan, and let him see what his recklessness produces.
