FIA President Under Fire For Allegedly Participating In Anti-Semitic Themed Sex Party

According to the story (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/03/business/main3991830.shtml), the FiA President, Max Mosely (pictured) was involved in a Nazi themed sex party. While what someone does in the privacy of their bedroom is their own business, public figures need to remember that they are under the eyes of the world and someone, somewhere will be digging into their private business.
What bothered me most in this article was the following quote:
FIA said in a statement Thursday that Mosley had called a special assembly of the federation to consider the issue. The full 200-strong FIA membership was invited to a meeting in Paris at the earliest possible date.
"The widespread publicity following an apparently illegal invasion of the FIA's President's privacy will be discussed," the statement said.
Mosley, who is not attending this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, said he will take legal action against the newspaper.
It seems the FiA is more concerned about the paper getting the story than what their president can be doing that is damaging to their image. The original story was leaked by the British Tabloid News of the World. You can find their story here (http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/3003_nazi_orgy.shtml).
While a standard question would be, "What was he thinking?" (because obviously he was not) a better one would be, "Why the blazes did he VIDEO it????"
