NEW YORK, March 1 (UPI) -- Online journalist Matt Drudge is showing no signs of regret for spreading the news that Britain's Prince Harry was serving in Afghanistan.
Drudge ran an item about the prince's war-zone service this week on his Web site, The Drudge Report, which was quickly picked up by other news organizations around the world. That prompted British military leaders to pull Harry out of Afghanistan.
Since then, Drudge has remained quiet, as is his habit after releasing a major attention-grabbing piece, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.
The British newspaper said Drudge's story, which actually was first reported in January by a New Zealand Web site called New Idea, prompted one apparent critic to edit his Web site's entry in Wikipedia, the Internet encyclopedia, calling it "irresponsible and ill-advised" for putting soldiers' lives at risk.
