He should stay in the operational theater? Now that every tribesman knows that a fortune in ransom is hiding under one of those helmets? Good lord, what an awful idea. You'd see British troopers kidnapped on the one-in-the-million chance that they might be the Prince, in hopes of a royal ransom. Forget the Taliban and Al Qaeda, the locals will be ready to grab every Briton in sight.

No, better to send him home, very publicly, and get the locals off the idea of a quick mega-buck.

Does anybody else think Drudge was a complete and total tool for breaking the embargo on this news?
