Nude Harry Snaps: 'Papers Neutered By Leveson'

If that doesn't scare the Taliban, nothing will.

3,600 complaints about Harry photos
Press Association – 1 hour 4 minutes ago

There have been 3,600 complaints to the press watchdog about naked photographs of Prince Harry published in The Sun.
The tabloid became the first British newspaper to carry the pictures on Friday, arguing that the move was in the public interest and a "crucial" test of the country's free press.
The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) said they all came from members of the public and none from St James's Palace or any other representatives of the royal family.
The pictures of him frolicking in the nude with an unnamed woman while on holiday in Las Vegas made headlines around the world but St James's Palace asked UK papers, via the PCC, to respect Harry's privacy.
Sun managing editor David Dinsmore said the paper had "thought long and hard" about whether to use the pictures and said it was an issue of freedom of the press rather than because it was moralising about Harry's actions. He told BBC Radio 5 Live that The Sun did generally "fear" the PCC, but a decision had been made to publish the photos because of the public interest.
The decision provoked a mixed reaction both inside and outside the media industry.
Former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott said the newspaper had shown "absolute utter contempt" for the law and the Leveson Inquiry.
"It is not about privacy. It is about money, money, money. And they know that by exclusively printing the pictures, assuming they are the only (British) paper which does, they will get everybody buying the paper to see this."
In a Twitter exchange with Lord Prescott, Rupert Murdoch denied taking the decision to print the photographs. "Decision was rightly that of the editor, and I support. I was in Silicon Valley far removed," he wrote.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said he had a "deafening indifference" to the publication of the naked photos. He told the BBC: "The real scandal would be if you went all the way to Las Vegas and you didn't misbehave in some trivial way."

Best thing anyone could do is turn all the pics into a calendar, and stick Harry on the cover, and sell it to raise money for one of the Forces' charities.
