I agree with big mal on this and others. The war takes priority over this. The only thing I think should be said about Tiger is, that he basically told the police that he would talk to them after he and his wife got their stories straight. That right there is a big can of worms regarding the rich and famous. And what is ironic, he got that pass because he is Tiger Woods, yet now he complains about privacy? You got the pass because of your public image, if you were some famous recluse, like the singer Maxwell, one could see you asking for privacy, and chances are it would be given. But everytome you turn on the tv it's Tiger this or Tiger that. In fact Buick's resurgance and image are closely tied to Tiger.
It's funny how people who want the image of a squeaky clean guy, when they eff up want privacy, yet those who have the image of a sex symbol, either bask in it, or say it comes with the territory.
Bottom line, Tiger wants privacy because he is ashamed that he got caught, and that his "public image" is now tarnished due to him taking his private matters ( his lust) into a public domain. And we found out. Tiger was seeing this woman for 2 yrs? He knew he was wrong from the jump, yet his ego was what kept him on the booty trail. Now that he slipped up he wants privacy.
Ultimately what is done in the dark comes to light.
