[ laughter ] >> hey, sanchez, good luck with that all season. [ laughter ]
7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." it is 7:00 a.m. in the west. the charges are powerful and disturbing. longtime penn state football coach joe paterno and other officials, including the university's president and athletic director, covered up child sexual abuse allegations against jerry sandusky for more than a decade. >> a new report from former fbi director louis freeh pulls no punches, saying penn state officials ignored the safety and welfare of sandusky's victims, putting them in danger. >> armand keteyian is at the news convens just underway. >> reporter: good morning. as you said, former fbi director louis freeh is holding a froins right now answering questioning about this 150-plus page report released just moments ago. the highlights are stunning. and they deeply implicate four top penn state officials, former
7:04 am
president graham spanier, athletic director tim curley, vice president gary schultz, and most critically the iconic late football coach joe paterno. in prepared marks, freeh said he spoke of the callus and shocking disregard for the child victims on the part of former penn state president spanier, curley, schultz, and most significantly former head football coach joe paterno. quote, taking into account the available witnesses and evidence, it is more than reasonable to conclude that in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at penn state university, the aforementioned spanier, schultz, paterno, and curley, repeatedly concealed critical facts related to sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the board of trustees, penn state community, and the public at large. freeh then went on to single out a february 26, 2001, meeting between paterno and curley as a critical factor in the cover-up. it involved the now notorious
7:05 am
sexual assault by jerry sandusky of a young boy as young as 10 years old in a penn state football facility shower on february 9, 2001. the quote from freeh again. based on the evidence, the only known intervening factor between the decision made on february 25, 2001, by spanier, curley, and schultz to report the incident to the department of public welfare child authorities and then agreeing not to do so on february 27 was mr. paterno's february 26 conversation with mr. curley. there's an excerpt in the exhibits from this report by freeh of an email from gary schultz to both spanier and curley on february 28. to quote a part of that, from schultz to spanier and curley. the only downside for us is if the message isn't heard, and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it. he is referring to an earlier email written around 8:00 the night before by tim curley in
7:06 am
which curley says after giving it much thought -- excuse me, after giving it more thought and talking it over with joe yesterday, i am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps. freeh in his statement went on to say that he had interviewed more than 430 people, and his investigative group had sifted through and found more than 3.5 million emails and documents. a very, very comprehensive investigation. and devastating in many ways to penn state. >> devastating to penn state. it also poiaints a very interesting picture of joe paterno. any reaction to what they are saying about joe paterno? >> not yet, erica. but clearly, this meeting between paterno and tim curley was very, very significant. i'm sure some of the first questions being asked of louie freeh will be about the context of that email. are they familiar with what
7:07 am
exactly was said between curley and paterno. obviously, paterno is not here to speak about the context of the email. and tim curley as well as other members, including gary schultz, declined to be interviewed by freeh's investigators. we'll know more as this day wears on. >> armand, thank you. legal analyst ricky cryman is with us now along with john miller, who spent a good deal of time at the fbi as well. when you look at this, ricky, as we said earlier today, this wasn't a criminal investigation. not a legal investigation, but, boy, does this have ramifications this morning. what is the biggest fallout you see here? >> i think that the biggest fallout is really for the university itself and perhaps for the paternos as well. what we are looking at is not an indictment, as you say, not charges. but what we see is a blueprint. and it is a blueprint that the lawyers for these victims and victims still unknown, they can use in their civil litigation.
7:08 am
and i think in looking at it as quickly as we have that legally, this is about the worst thing that could have happened to penn state because what we see is a condemnation of four men, paterno, the two, curley and schultz, and spanier, the president, for doing all of this concealment only to avoid bad publicity. it's a very challenging situation for the university. >> the report goes on to suggest that as you said, that penn state failed to implement the provisions of a federal law that requires them to collect and report these crimes. does that mean criminal charges are pending as a result of this? >> it's possible, but highly unlikely. i think that it is possible for the investigation, which continues, the prosecutor, the
7:09 am
attorney general, still going forward and looking. is there a way to look at the president, the former president spanier, as a possible criminal defendant? possibly. but i do think that it has more civil difficulties for people than criminal. so i'll tell you, if i'm a prosecutor here, and i read this, i have to continue my investigation. >> i would have to agree with that. you know, louis freeh is a former director of the fbi for almost a decade. before that, an assistant united states attorney in new york city prosecuting extraordinarily complex cases. after that, a sitting federal judge. looking at an investigation that he would lead, you're going to see a different set of capabilities and style than you are on the state level in pennsylvania. and i would suggest that the attorney general and the prosecutors are going to look at this report and say, what's in here that they discovered that we didn't, and what is in here
7:10 am
that might be a viable charge against existing defendants, the two college executives, or others. >> and what -- having been with the fbi, having been with various police forces, what jumps out to you in terms of those things that you would immediately say, this has to be followed up on? >> well, i think ricky hit on some of them. one is the violation of the curley law -- the cleary law, which is a 1990 federal statute that requires the reporting of sexual abuse of a child, which was clearly violated by the lack of action by the college. but when you get into the details, you take a thing from the report that says based on the evidence, the only known intervening factor between the decision made on february 25 by mr. spanier, curley, and schultz to report the incidents to the department of public safety, and then the decision on february 27 not to after talking to mr. paterno, you have to peel back the layers of that and say was there a conspiracy beyond the
7:11 am
alleged perjury. was there a conspiracy to obstruct justice? >> so obviously, joe paterno isn't here, but certainly his estate is. do you think that that is at risk? you alluded to that before. >> i do think that it's at risk. i do think that these victims through their lawyers are going to look for deep pockets. that's what they should be doing. and while they are looking, they can only look to the university which has the deepest pockets of all, but there is certainly a lot of money in paterno's estate. although paterno is not here obviously to defend himself, and he cannot come forward and say, well, it's not what it appears it be, the reality is that these plaintiffs' lawyers in doing their duty are going to go look and they're going to look and dig hard. sandusky doesn't have any money. so those are the two places to go. >> it is disturbing especially when you think we have a tendency to forget about the victims in this, and they say that is exactly what happened. there was a blatant disregard
7:12 am
for them. we appreciate you coming in. thank you. we have new information this morning on congressman jesse jackson jr.'s health weeks after he began a leave of absence for an undisclosed medical condition. >> the latest news could raise more questions than it answers. nancy? >> reporter: good morning to you and to our viewers in the west. well, it was a combination of wild rumors and some pressure from democratic officials that led jackson's office last night to release a few new details about his condition. they said he is not in rehab for drug or alcohol addiction, but that he is suffering from a mood disorder. >> in a sense, we have come to >> it's been more than a month since jesse jackson jr. left capitol hill under a cloud of mystery. last night, jackson's office released a statement from an unnamed doctor saying that the illinois democrat is receiving intensive medical treatment at a residential treatment facility for a mood disorder. the statement was the latest in
7:13 am
a series of shifting explanations. in late june, jackson's staff said the 47-year-old congressman was suffering from exhaustion. then last week, they announced he had physical and emotional ailments, though they didn't go into details. the term "mood disorder" can apply to anything from depression to bipolar disorder according to dr. mark pollack. >> the severity associated with both of these conditions runs the gamut from people who have relatively mild levels of distress all t way through people with profound mood disturbance. >> jackson has been facing an ongoing house ethics investigation into allegations that he tried to influence former illinois governor rod blagojevich to appoint him to president obama's vacant senate seat. democratic leaders have been split about what jackson should say about his absence and when. maryland's steny hoyer says the congressman owes chicago voters an explanation.
7:14 am
>> i think congressman jackson and his office and his family would be well advised to advise the constituents of his condition. he's obviously facing a health problem. >> reporter: but house minority leader nancy pelosi calls for patience. >> the time is right for congressman jackson has an evaluation of what his situation is, and i'm sure then will share it with his constituents. >> jackson's father, reverend jesse jackson, has said that questions about his son's health are inappropriate right now. last night, jackson's older sister asked everyone to respect her brother's privacy. >> i think that we have to do is dial everything back, and just give him the grace of space so that he can get well. >> reporter: in the statement that jackson's office put out last night, that unnamed doctor said he is responding to treatment and is expected to make a full recovery. jackson's father has said that jackson will say what he's been recovering from when the time is right.
7:15 am
lee and erica? >> nancy cortes, thank you. mitt romney said he expected to be booed at the naacp convention on wednesday. >> jan crawford was there to hear the speech and the response from the nation's oldest civil rights organization. jan, good morning to you. >> good morning, lee and erica and everyone in the west. yeah. romney really took his economic message straight to some of the president's most loyal supporters. and this is a group he really has no chance of winning, but he did not back down, and the crowd didn't like it. >> if you want a president who will make things better in the african-american community, you are looking at him. you take a look. >> reporter: at first, the applause was polite. but when romney said he would repeal the president's signature achievement, health care reform, the crowd and the mood turned on him. >> i'm going to eliminate every nonessential expensive program i can find. and that includes obama care. and i'm going to work to reform
7:16 am
and save -- [ crowd booing ] >> reporter: the president's support among african-americans remains rock solid. in 2008, he got 95% of the vote. and in a recent poll, 87% of african-americans said they approve of the job he's doing compared to 45% of all americans. but some democrats are worried that the president's base is less motivated to turn out this year. the president has also frustrated some black leaders like with this response to congressional black caucus members worried about high unemployment. >> take off your bedroom slippers. put on your marching shoes. shake it off. stop complaining. stop grumbling. stop crying. we are going to press on. we've got work to do. >> reporter: unemployment in the black community is now at 14.4%. well above the national average of 8.2%. and romney argued to the naacp that the president's policies
7:17 am
have hurt african-americans. but romney's challenges are steep as he fights the perception that the gop has a diversity problem. in may, he visited a charter school in a poor black neighborhood in west philadelphia. but most of his outreach is focused on hispanics. nonetheless, romney sounds optimistic he can chip away at the president's base. >> i do actually. and i spoke with a number of african-american leaders after the event, and they said, you know, a lot of folks still want to say they are not going to be voting for barack obama. >> now president obama will not be speaking to the naacp convention this year. instead, he sent vice president biden. so even though there were some in the group who may be disappointed the president won't be here, you can be sure that the vice president will get a much more enthusiastic response than we saw yesterday for governor romney. >> jan crawford, thank you. and a programming note for you, charlie rose will be sitting down for an interview with the president and the first lady. we'll have highlights across all cbs news platforms starting this evening. the interview itself will air on

7:41 am
radioactive dye and it lights up these areas where there's a.m. lloyd. it lights up in red. that's the gooey substance that can muck up the brain so the mun indication between the brain cells. >> the plaques? >> the plaques, right. it causes -- the theory is that it causes alzheimer's. but that's not proven. >> if you have the test and it shows up, then what happens? >> until these tests, you had to diagnose a.m. lloyd at autopsy. if you don't have it, you don't have alzheimer's. the big question is what does it mean if you have it? there's a big test co-led by a doctor at duke saying we're going to follow people who are normal or problems with memory. we're going to give them the scans and follow them over 18 months, 36 months, see what happens. it turns out, if they lit up, they had a higher chance of going on to alzheimer's. what was really interesting or as interesting is that people who came in with a diagnosis of alzheimer's, a third of them had negative scans.
7:42 am
so it was the wrong diagnosis. >> so it's not definitive? but it gives you a better indication. why, if there is that chance, why would you want to have it done? >> why would you -- right. for one thing, we followed a man, the first person in new york state to get this test. and he came in, he thought 80 years old, thought he had alzheimer's. he had all of the signs and symptoms, okay. he was starting to wind down his life. he had the test and it turned out it was negative. a doctor out of mount sinaiment he's really changing his plans. it turns out he has something else. there are lots of other things that can cause dementia other than alzheimer's. about a 1/3 is because of tiny strokes in the head. you can have thyroid or low b-12. if it's a positive scan, we're really not sure yet exactly what it means because 20 to 30% of normal seemingly normal people over the age of 65 do light up positive for the scan. now, right now it's been very
7:43 am
disappointing in terms of the trials of medications to treat alzheimer's, as we all know. devastating disease. >> what does that do to that? because if there is in sort of predictor, at least a sense of what we're doing, does that give us at least -- >> to me>> to me, it totally che way we're going to approach it. right now, a lot of the medicines that these are the antibodies that sop up the a.m. lloyd. they're given to people who already have alzheimer's disease and they've been disappointing. now the attention is saying let's go -- it turns out the other studies show maybe 10, 20, even more years before you actually get the disease, you start to get the plaque. so the obvious question is, why don't we give some of these medicines, rather than waiting to the end, give it prevent tifl. think about heart disease, if you wait until somebody has five heart attacks and then give them lipitor. let's give it earlier.

hasn't been speaking publicly much. some people say that he is a bit more cautious than dagan. he became the mossad chief under prime minister ar yell sharon. you might consider him an adventurous person who will do exciting things. dagan certainly would. pardo may be cautious but he's in favor of covert action. they'll do whatever the prime minister tells him to do. they'll get ready for war if necessary. but the mossad always wants to offer options short of war. >> is there agreement in israel not that the iranians are enriching nuclear materials, but at the same time, they want to go beyond the capacity and actually have nuclear missiles. >> our book presents what the israelis feel at least is evidence, definite evidence that the iranians, for instance, have prepared a chamber where all you do there is test the trigger mechanism for nuclear bombs. that's all that it's for.
8:44 am
other evidence that they've passed along to the u.s., to the british, to the french, to the germans. >> my question is not that. the question is, do they want to go beyond the capacity and actually make and be able to deliver on a moment's notice. >> now you're hitting upon something sensitive. because maybe the united states government would accept iran developing the capacity, but not breaking out -- >> the israelis. >> i think not. they haven't said so in public. but i think in private you'll learn that netanyahu, the prime minister and president obama have disagreed on timing and on what's the red line. so the israelis say iran can't even come close to having a nuclear bomb. we can't live under that shadow. that's why that's mission number one for israeli intelligence. >> there's finally this. the zone of immunity. israeli capacity will not pen rate it. >> the favorite phrase of prime minister owe defense minister.
8:45 am
israel is trying to get the u.s. incredibly focused on this so when the israelis say the zone of immunity is coming, perhaps israel won't be able to bomb iran because israel doesn't have the planes and the bucket bester bombs. but they say america, you do. israeli is hoping that the u.s. takes care of the problem if, in fact, bombing raids are necessary. >> it's called spies against armageddon. inside israel's secret wars. on sale now. when you can skype with your friends around the world, you can imagine what a big deal it is when it changed the way we see and hear people. as we look back 50 years to the historic debut of telestar on "cbs this morning." ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
