FOX News Wikileaks.org — a watchdog Web site that leaks corporate and government documents — hasn't officially launched, yet it has already uncovered human-rights violations in China, claimed to have swayed Kenya's Dec. 2007 elections and exposed the inner workings of the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay. So many were surprised when it recently turned its sights on two lawyer-heavy religious groups: the Mormons and the Scientologists. Founded in December 2006, Wikileaks boasts of an archive of 1.2 million released documents, sent ...

Village Voice Scientology defector Jason Beghe on Scientology spokesman Tommy Davis: "You see the eyes, the lying that he's doing. Anybody can see that this guy is not clean. It's clear as day." Last week, John Roberts of CNN grilled Tommy Davis, a Scientology spokesman, who was predictably evasive about what L. Ron Hubbard's wacky minions are up to.

Glosslip [Video: http://www.youtube.com/v/fQtvHqe-JIY] I have been reluctant to talk further about Gregg of Boston simply because there was so much controversy about his charges, his person and his past. I felt it was best to remain neutral. Part of the issue was related to my being aware that he had some extenuating circumstances in his past and I didn't want to be the one to draw any attention to this, simply because I didn't know the nature of what happened. Now that ...
