					<description><![CDATA[&#160; The recent, very disappointing decision from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in the Garcia case highlights once again the problem of trying to deal with scientology in the courts: they understand too well how to game the system. The old adage that when the facts are not on your side, argue the law [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Anyone who regularly reads this blog will know that I have been scathing in my criticism of recent court rulings concerning the supposed scientology &#8220;religious arbitration&#8221; agreements that courts have enforced to prevent plaintiffs from pursuing legal recourse against scientology entities.  See earlier articles: Scientology &#8220;Religious Arbitration&#8221; &#8212; Giving Kangaroo Courts a Bad Name and this [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Scientology&#8217;s usual response to each episode of The Aftermath appeared on their hate site before the show had even finished airing. They focused their attention on Mat Pesch and Jeffrey Augustine. They KNOW they cannot make the same sort of insane rants about Luis Garcia or Ted Babbitt because they will present it before the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was sent a copy of this report by Mike Laws and I thought it worth making more broadly known. It has NOTHING to do with giving money to scientology which is about the only form of commendation one usually hears about these days. Mike makes some important points, not the least of which is [&#8230;]]]></description>
