Prince Harry liberates Qandahar. You turn to US news, especially to CNN, and you only see wall-to-wall coverage of Prince Harry's heroic weeks in Afghanistan. If only he was allowed to stay longer, he would have been able to capture Bin Laden and all the wanted Al-Qa`idah leadership. Yesterday, the New York Times and other media reported on how the Prince did not shower or change his underwear for a few days. That was supposed to engender tears and sobs from the readers. What cruelty: the prince could not change his underwear. This news was more cruel than the Israeli ritual of daily killing of children in Gaza. And the British government is feigning outrage over the publicity of Prince Harry's military exploits when the TV footage of his clowning before the cameras had the stamp of the British Ministry of Defense.
