					<description><![CDATA[The latest reporting from Tracey McManus highlights the tensions in the city as they try to deal with the maneuverings of David Miscavige.

There is another piece in the Tampa Bay Times (top of article screencapped above) this morning. It makes some interesting points &#8211; first of which is noting Bunker&#8217;s &#8220;desire [&#8230;]]]></description>
