News media must be responsible

While the British and Australian media had the class to keep their mouths shut, only in America could the media be so inconsiderate and classless to break the story to the chagrin of everyone involved that Prince Harry was in Afghanistan.

As a former military officer, it is my understanding that revealing locations or movements of troops or material in a time of war is treason.

I know news is news but responsibility is also responsibility. It is far past time for the media to be responsible for the news they report.
