Prince Harry And The VideoTaped Deployment

There is no limit to the stupidity of "military intelligence".

I thought it was bad enough that the British Minister of Defence announced that Prince Harry would be deployed to Iraq in the first place.

Like I said before, if you are worried about the terrorists making him a target, why would you tell them he is coming? But it get's much worse.

Defence chiefs are planning to let a camera crew follow Prince Harry during his tour of duty in Iraq.

The Ministry of Defence crew will film him while on operations, with footage being released to television channels and on the internet.

…

The MoD will scrutinise its coverage for any information which could be used by insurgents to locate Prince Harry – one group has already threatened to kidnap him and cut off his ears.

How stupid is that? A camera crew? Do they really think some MoD from Britain who scrutinizes the coverage will keep insurgents from attaining his whereabouts?

I am from Las Vegas, I grew up in the area. Whenever I see a television show filmed within 150 miles of Vegas, I can usually tell where they are. In fact, I usually flip out telling my wife all about the area they were filming in.

So, if that camera crew shows even one location feature in the background, whether it's a hilltop, a row of houses, or even a group of trees, the terrorists will know exactly where he is. Let alone the fact that they might just have an idea it's him when they see a soldier being followed by a camera crew.

Again I ask, why?
