Ok, I was content to let this thread die, but thought I'd post this so you can read what Bamberger had to say for himself.

After reading it, I have mixed opinions about it. I think he had the best of intentions when he did what he did, but I honestly don't think it would have kept him awake every night the rest of his life if he would have simply let it pass. Especially since Wie wasn't anywhere close to winning this thing.

If he was truly on the verge of an emotional breakdown and he HAD to tell somebody, then he went about it the right way (calling his editor, reviewing the tape, talking to an official to check the facts). But it sure would have been a lot easier to let it go without a word spoken or written. I'm sure he would have lived happily ever after. So would have Michelle.

Judge for yourself.
