I do not measure my virtue by the virtues of other men. For that type of virtue is a facade. The only real virtue is that which is accountable to God.
No man is completely virtuous. We all fall from grace. The difference is that virtuous men own up to their transgressions. A virtuous man is as honest with the world as he is with himself.
I am not bashing Mr. Bennett, I am holding him to account for his transgressions. Holding him to his own standards of virtue. As a man who pursues virtue, I can do that; as other virtuous men have called me into account, on more than one occasion.
But then virtue is easy to restore. All one has to do is own up to their transgressions and make amends. That in fact, increases one's virtues.
All I see coming from Mr. Bennett are his efforts to preserve the cash cow that financed his gambling. There is certainly no virtue in that.

Having your private credit or financial information leaked to the press, is an offense that any victim should pursue in a court of law. I doubt you would be so apathetic, if it was your own personal information that was doled out to the press. What if it had been his medical information, his tax records, his credit report? Shouldn't that all be vehemently protected?
