Treason

The Afghan location of the Honorable Prince Harry of England, our coalition partner in Afghanistan, was outed by the Drudge Report. This disclosure goes way beyond the usual bottom feeding that is typical of the website. The disclosure put brave soldiers unnecessarily in harm's way, and compromised an on going military mission. At best this disclosure of military secrets was treason by way of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. At least, it is reprehensible.

The constitution never protects this behavior. Eleanor Roosevelt used to say loose lips sink ships. The United States government should initiate an immediate and swift investigation and prosecution of the Drudge Report and the individuals behind the disclosure of this information.
