Much of the latest news coverage has been the outing of England's Prince Harry on the frontline of battle in Afghanistan. It is quite a surprise that the media kept the Prince's involvement a secret for 10 weeks.

One has to respect the Prince's desire to serve his country and actually joining the rank and file in battle. So few in the Senate and Congress have children in the armed forces in the U.S. that it was easy to vote to support the war in Iraq in spite of no evidence of WMDs.

Much respect to the Prince and thanks to the media for holding off as long as they did.
