Matt Drudge: Worst Person In The World

What have I gained by knowing Prince Harry was on the battleground in Afghanistan? What has Matt Drudge gained by leaking this story other than showing what an ass he is?

Prince Harry is being pulled out of Afghanistan after news of his deployment to the region was leaked in the media, British news organizations report.

Harry has been secretly serving on the front line in Helmand since December, Britain's Ministry of Defence said Thursday.

The ministry would not immediately say if Harry was to be sent home but the BBC and other news organizations, quoting military sources on Friday, are confirming that he will.

Chief of the General Staff Sir Richard Dannatt, who is head of the British Army, said in a statement Thursday that Harry "has been fully involved in operations and has run the same risks as everyone else in his Battlegroup.

The prince's planned deployment had previously been disclosed to reporters, but there was a pool agreement between the British government and news organization not to report the story to reduce safety risks.
