Church of Scientology responds to Internet attacks
More articles on this topic: ScientologyAfter several days of Internet attacks by a group calling itself Anonymous, the Church of Scientology has responded with a comment about the posting of one of its videos.
A response on Friday evening from the Church of Scientology did not address CNET News.com’s specific request for comment on the denial-of-service attacks themselves. Instead, Karin Pouw, public affairs director for the Church of Scientology, focused on the leak of a Tom Cruise video on YouTube earlier in the week. The response reads, in full:
As the Church previously announced, the pirated and edited excerpts of Mr. Cruise were contained in an official Church event in 2004, an event attended by 5,000 Scientologists and their guests and further available for viewing in any Church of Scientology world over. Having presented these selective and out-of-context excerpts with the intent of creating both controversy and ridicule, nevertheless resulted in people searching for and visiting Church of Scientology Web sites as evidenced by “most searched for” lists of various search engines. Those wishing to find out the Church of Scientology’s views and to gain context of the video have the right to search official Church Web sites if they so desire.
RNB Comments:
A comparison of the 9-minute Tom Cruise video with this 38-minute version does not reveal “out of context excerpts.”
It should be noted that L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology’s founder, encouraged his followers to lie and engage in other unethical behavior.
