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

5. I agree with the family

''The question that needs to be asked is why this breach of confidentiality ... is not being objected to or otherwise addressed by those in a position of authority,'' Sollers said. ''It should not be the responsibility of the Paterno family to call for an honest, independent investigation. Given the seriousness and complexity of this case, everyone should be demanding the full truth, not just carefully selected excerpts of certain emails.''

Sollers said Paterno didn't fear the truth and had asked his family and advisers to ''pursue the full truth. ... It is the course that we will follow to the end.''



By selectively releasing emails they have gotten to select what angle of story they want to tell people. Since Joe is dead a full release is about the best you can hope for to understand what he really knew, did and when. If your going to be damned, better to be damned with all the information than let other people selectively release it. Personally I think Joe Pa is not likely to look better after full disclosure, but as a family member I'd probably ask for it too.
