A female midshipman claims three football players at the school raped her at an off-campus party in 2012 while she was heavily intoxicated. The woman, who was 20 at the time, chose not to be examined with a rape kit and didn't report the alleged crimes to authorities for eight months because she feared the backlash could turn violent. She was terrified of coming forward because, she says, she saw how other victims were treated.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper, she agreed to tell her story as long as we hid her identity. She speaks out about the culture at the school, and why she says what happened after the alleged attack was like "living a nightmare every single day."

Week two of the dramatic trial began with former hitman John Martorano testifying against Bulger, who was his close friend and partner in crime. The mobster told the court it broke his heart when he discovered Bulger was an FBI informant. He described in detail some of the murders he committed, which he says Bulger also plotted and participated in.

Cullen weighs in on Martorano's credibility as a witness and how Bulger reacted in the courtroom on Monday.

First, the good news: Slowly but surely, the economy is coming back. And that's no small feat, given where it was in 2009.

Then, everything else: The constitutional scholar, civil libertarian and antiwar activist can't seem to wake up each day without some basic challenge to his political ecology. The confirmed presence of chemical weapons in Syria now makes some sort of escalation there inevitable, just as the war in Afghanistan winds down. (More military support for the rebels? No-fly zone?)

About 67 million years later, a Wyoming rancher led scientists to their remains. Now experts are digging out one of the most complete skeletons yet of a Triceratops, the three-horned, plant-eating dinosaur that was one of the last of the giant reptiles.

"There's only three other skeletons that will match the completeness of one of the specimens we're excavating right now," said paleontologist Peter Larson, president of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research.

Her doctors are very pleased with both her progress during the procedure and her prognosis for recovery … We are elated this day has come, but we also know our good news is another family’s tragedy. That family made the decision to give Sarah the gift of life –and they are the true heroes today.” Anderson talked to CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta about the risks of the lung transplant and how doctors performed the special surgery.

But some lawmakers and civil liberties groups are blasting the surveillance programs conducted by the National Security Agency after classified leaks last week detailed how they worked. NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked the top secret information and is now in hiding in Hong Kong. He could face criminal charges here in the U.S. Here’s the AC360 411 on the NSA:

• Pres. Harry Truman established the agency more than 60 years ago on November 4, 1952.
• The NSA Director is appointed by the Secretary of Defense and is always a commissioned military officer with a rank of at least three stars.
• NSA headquarters are in a highly-secured area of Maryland’s Fort Meade Army base with 18,000 parking spaces.
• Other NSA facilities are in Hawaii (where Snowden worked), Georgia, Texas and Colorado.
• The agency is building a new surveillance data center near Salt Lake City, Utah and is expected to be operational this fall.
• One expert estimates the new data center will be able to hold 500 quintillion pages of data. If you printed those pages and stacked them on top of one another it could stretch from the moon and back 66 million times.
• The agency has 35,000 employees who are half military and half civilians.
• In 2002, the NSA claimed to be the largest employer of mathematicians in the United States “and perhaps the world.”
• The NSA has one of the largest police forces in Maryland.
• The NSA budget is classified, but experts says it’s likely at least $10 billion a year.
• Beer was sold in the NSA cafeteria during the 70s and 80s.
• Due to its secrecy, the NSA has been nicknamed “No Such Agency”

At a local fire station on Tuesday, they watched the images on the news showing their home consumed by flames. "It was probably the worst thing I've ever seen in my life," said Jaenette. They told Anderson Cooper how they're processing the devastating destruction of their property in an interview on Thursday.

"We literally had five minutes and we left because the flames were there," said Jaenette. "The first thing I grabbed was the baby album, then I grabbed our personal computer ... we grabbed the fire box ... and that was it. We had to leave."

The couple added that despite the loss, they're grateful that they know what happened because many of their friends are still waiting for confirmation on the status of their homes. While the wildfires continue to burn, they're focused on friends and neighbors in their community.

Witnesses spoke to the two victims in the afternoon, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa told reporters.

"They said that they could see a glow to the west. They were packing their personal belongings, trying to get out," he said.

Earlier, county spokesman Dave Rose told CNN that the Black Forest Fire, burning northeast of the city, now appears to be the most destructive in terms of property lost in state history.

Every year, Kids Wish Network raises millions of dollars in donations in the name of dying children and their families.

Every year, it spends less than 3 cents on the dollar helping kids.

Most of the rest gets diverted to enrich the charity's operators and the for-profit companies Kids Wish hires to drum up donations.

In the past decade alone, Kids Wish has channeled nearly $110 million donated for sick children to its corporate solicitors. An additional $4.8 million has gone to pay the charity's founder and his own consulting firms.
