It is a question of judgement on David Cameron's behalf, and many things he has done since the start of his premiership do leave a lot to be desired as to how good his judgement in lots of areas are.

However way back,I said here on tibb too,something like, I admired the way David Cameron stood by him and that he wasn't prepared to judge Andy Coulson or comment until likely something was proven against him.

Now it has been proven, David Cameron has immediately apologised, so to be fair to him, that is,in my opinion, all to David Cameron's credit.

Well said Joey. Completely agree
