Today November 12th in Scientology history
==========================================

A church accounting

Scientology's shameful past includes a 25-year legal and psychological
campaign against the IRS to be recognized as a tax-exempt religion.
Scientology tactics included a criminal conspiracy in the 1970s to bug
IRS offices, which led to 11 convictions of church members including
founder L. Ron Hubbard's wife. Scientology filed dozens of lawsuits
against the IRS, hired private investigators to dig up dirt on IRS
employees and financed other IRS critics.

For Times, an obsession trumps facts
November 12, 2009, Pat Harney, Letter to Editors, St. Petersburg Times

Once again, the Times turns a deaf ear to any voices save those of a
handful of disaffected former Scientologists people who have admitted
lying, suborning perjury and obstructing justice because their
falsehoods support the Times' compulsive and unreasonable views about
Scientology. Indeed, the Times' recent coverage, which is the basis for
Sunday's editorial, merely regurgitates stale and unfounded allegations
from as long as 20 years ago.
