Does Drudge Go Too Far?

I realize Matt Drudge has made his fortune by revealing information that the "responsible" press won't publish. I realize his web site gets 5 billion hits a year, including at least a couple a day from me. But at a point, it seems he would recognize the position he holds on the world stage and show at least a tiny bit of discretion now and then. I'm disturbed by his revelation that Prince Henry has been serving in Afghanistan - a revelation that has resulted in the Prince being called back home despite his desire to actively serve in the military. I think the revelation not only jeopardized the lives of the Prince and his fellows, but also destroyed his dream. I don't think it was necessary or even remotely helpful to anyone other than the Taliban - though the subsequent increased traffic to the Drudge Report will certainly help pad Matt Drudge's pocketbook.
