Aye, I think most of the media has actually approached the story fairly well without getting too involved in the usual tabloid bump of "Scientology ate my children".

I'm surprised they've gotten away with operating a well known policy of aggression for so long, you'd think at least one government in these days of everyones a terrorist until proven otherwise would be more concerned.
