#1 PRINCE Harry has been warned by MI6 chief John Scarlett that insurgents in Iraq are plotting to kill him.

MI6 miss the part where the insurgents are plotting to kill every American, Brit, Ozzie, Pole .....? Exempting Italian Communist reporters, of course.

#2 PRINCE Harry has been warned by MI6 chief John Scarlett that insurgents in Iraq are plotting to kill him.

Presumably he isn't bright enough to realize that based on the experience of his great-great uncle Louis?

#3 He insists he knows how to look after himself and his men. He is a stubborn little bugger.

God bless him. Good luck.

I think popping off Harry would be very stupid thing for Al-Qaeda to do. But that's just me...

The Al Qaeda communications system is at the heart of a new HQ that Osama bin Laden has set up in the Waziristan area of north Pakistan.

This reporter sounds like he had a guided tour.

#4 1: PRINCE Harry has been warned by MI6 chief John Scarlett that insurgents in Iraq are plotting to kill him.

They're bloody well planning to kill all of us! Hopefully Harry and his Regiment will get more than a few of THEM! He's the stuff of Kings! I salute him! God Save him!

#5 I suspect the comments section at Rantburg reached the same conclusion as MI6 despite our lacking MI6' budget and resources. Advantage: Rantburg!

#6 Whacking Harry would be a nice propaganda feather in AQ's cap. The fact that it may have disasterous consequences probably doesn't matter to them. Look at the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

The fact that they really, really want this guy would seem to make them vulnerable to disinformation and traps.

I don't know too much about Harry, but I'm starting to like the guy.

#7 My Dad swore up and down that that certain sections of the Japanese Imperial Army were out to get him, along with rogue elements of the Imperial Japanese Navy, it caused him considerable anxiet from '42-'45.

#8 Popping Harry will give more reason for the moonbats in the UK to accelerate the pullout.

#9 Why don't you give Al Qaeda my address and arrival time too while you're at it.

#10 If they dare popped Harry, I don't think the British would pull out and far from it... Could be right, lots of the public over here are getting a bit poofy for my liking. But if he got shot my own personal view is that more troops, and more planes would go out there, and it might even be an excuse to go into Pakistan (hush hush)

#12 "They have obtained technical journals and papers to find out..." And I certainly hope MI6 and 5 and all the other numbers move heaven and earth to find out if there is a mole in the system that maed those papers available. And then string his raggety ass up on the Tower. In pieces. Little itty bitty pieces.
