Good point, 1broken1. Rebuke publicly -- I think the context of that passage means within the church community. I don't think leaders are obligated to do an international media blitz, press release, website rebuke for the outside world to read. Unless, of course, you're talking about Ted Haggard and his gay affair! The more public the figure, the more shocking the sin -- the more public rebuke & repentance is warranted.
Also, what if your ousted elder has retained attorney? It may be that CES is being advised by some "no comment" lawyer to be very careful and deliberate with their words to avoid a greater dilemma.
