Okay, I am a Catholic and a Native American...
I am not a Scientologist nor am I in any way associated with them, but I must protest... this isn't journalism. This is a highly negative opinion piece, also known as a hatchet job, masquerading itself as journalism. Frankly, both the author and the editor are both guilty of the same lame tactics the Sea Org people are known for. Place this one under "Opinion Piece" and quit labeling these attack articles as "news," please. Thank you.

This is a common refrain from members of the Office of Special Affairs before they then comment in comment threads about material they find distasteful.
