I do agree that it LOOKS like everyone dropped the ball, did no follow up, or worse deliberately buried it..... but it seems everyone already KNOWS all the answers.
I would fault everyone for not insuring that the Grad Asst went to the police FIRST.
Lingering questions: Why is the Grad Asst exempt from all this - as a first hand WITNESS!? Where is the mother/father of the boys police report and investigation? Why did EVERYONE ignore the 2002 "shower incident" for 9 YEARS?
Just seems the lynch mob wants eveyone's (oops, i mean only JoePa's) blood first, ask questions later.

Lthrnck1775--
I can see your point about wanting to make sure there's a complete and full inquiry into all the circumstances surrounding this debacle.
I can also understand your concern that this situation is being used by some to make broad generalizations that are driven by assumptions but unsubstantiated by any kind of actual evidence.
Both of your viewpoints merit consideration--especially on the heels of the thoughtful discussion of the controversy that Michael Yon started.
However, I believe that the questions you raised in your reply add further justification for Paterno's removal. That is, not only did Paterno--by his own admission--fail to report an attack on a child to the police, he also failed to put Mike McQueary in a position to do the right thing--that is, to report directly the attack to the authorities.
