penn state wants to get this behind them. penn state would be wise to settle the cases and not put the kids through discovery and trials again and turn a page in its great history. >> of course, it is bigger than all of that there. the perjury counts out and there is the question of institutional control. that is the biggest thing in my estimation that remains is did penn state as a university look the other way. it is much like a corporation would have accusations within the corporation for instance one of your colleagues you told and one of your colleagues knows then your colleague goes to a supervisor in your compa y company. if a supervisor in the company knows then the company knows and then the company has to take actions which would be appropriate in the wake of such a thing. i'm certainly not saying that penn state didn't do the right thing at any point. that is for others to decide. but that question is on the table. and if it is at some point ruled that there was a lack of institutional control the entity which is p

>> penn state is responsible for their conduct. we are assessing their conduct. i have said that while penn state has reached out to me and to other victims and their attorneys, the fact of the matter is that we cannot begin to talk to penn state until we have full and complete disclosure, and this i would believe is the tip of the iceberg. >> as you know, you heard the statement a moment ago from susan that part of the statement said good people try to do their best to make the right decisions as they have their excuse of why they did not move forward in these allegations of these e-mails? what do you think of that? >> they made a conscious decision to make the wrong decision. they knew and they even discussed in the content of these e-mails as i have seen them tonight this they would face the consequences and the nonreporting later on should it come up and come back to them. well, it sure has come back to them, and they are now facing both criminal and civil proceedings as a result of it. there could not be a poorer choices that were made and more reckless cond

i'm definitely gonna call about the colonial penn program. as jurors continue deciding the fate of jerry sandusky, one of his six adopted children has come forward with more allegation of sexual abuse. matt sandusky offered to testify as a witness for the proseuction. it's unclear why he was never called. but prosecutors are under a gag order, so they can't comment. there are reports matt sandusky's claims follow the same pattern displayed by others who have testified in the case. jurors are expected to continue deliberations this afternoon. they are sequestered, and have not heard about matt sandusky's claims. pentagon officials point to a terror network in pakistan as possibly responsible for the deadly hotage taking and attack that leaves at least 26 people dead. the attack began at midnight at an outdoor party at a resort hotel near kabul, afghanistan. these pictures show guests clinging to the hotel wall for protection. seven taliban terrorists smuggled explosives into the hotel by hiding them under women's burqas -- authorities say. all
