An investigation report by BBC reporter John Sweeny
http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_4120000/newsid_4124500/4124514.stm?bw=bb&mp=rm
It's about whether Scientology is a "brain washing cult"
Just to be fair, here is the point of view of the Church of Scientology

Not that I believe any of the bollocks they're talking about
I just find it really interesting how the Scientology people can "recreate" a different story.
I'm not a reporter, but from what I see, John Sweeny is totally fine (apart from the yelling), and I'm totally backing BBC for this.
And all I see from the Scientologists' video are edited clips that show only what they want you to see.
If you guys are serious. Publish ALL the video footage, not just the edited ones.
I'm totally not convinced at all.
Not even the slightest.
Also, I think I'm right to say that a lot of the accusations the Scientologists make are not right, because, and this is important, SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A RELIGION IN UK.
I may be biased, but, I'm afraid I've read enough about scientology that I just won't believe them.
John Sweeny, if this you just happen to be reading this, I enjoyed this episode of Panorama so much, I actually bothered looking around the web and also sat through the whole rubbish made by the scientologists. Keep up the good work.
