I didn't read that whole message (for god sakes, it was over 1,000
lines long!!!) but I do agree that Cohen was a bit off base.  I doubt
he's insane -- like most people, he doesn't know much about
Scientology (he admits as much), and probably assumes it's a weird yet
benign religion that's being unfairly harrassed.   It's an admirable
instinct to defend weird yet benign religious groups -- yet as a
responsible pundit (not a journalist), he should at least get a few
facts before he writes an op/ed.   And the fact is that Scientology is
a monstrously evil cult.
