Paterno's family better be careful what they wish for:

Joe Paterno's Family Wants All Emails And Records Released

Following the conclusion of the Jerry Sandusky trial, news has come out that a report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh could shed some light on the 2001 Penn State investigation into the initial Sandusky allegations. Early leaked emails from the report appear to suggest that former Penn St. Nittany Lions head coach Joe Paterno may have been involved in discussions that concluded the Sandusky allegations would be better left as an internal PSU matter and not brought to outside authorities.

Genaro C. Armas of the Associated Press reports that Paterno's family is requesting that Freeh release all of the emails and records regarding the investigation. Paterno's family believes that the leaking of specific emails is intentionally casting the late coach in a harsh light and is tantamount to slander.

1. That was my thought too...

...upon reading the story about the emails.

They are apparently remaining in a state of denial about the whole thing. People find it easy to forget that his inaction, and the inaction of others, led directly to the rape and abuse of more young men / boys. You simply cannot spin that away. They don't want to admit that their beloved patriarch was involved in a coverup. But he was.
