That silly twit is laughable! All she is doing is trying to victimize a new and growing religion to get some publicity for her book. She sounds like the Queen of PoorLittleMeLand.

Where is one ounce of proof? One photo? One knock by a cop on any Scientologist's door? One of her charges backed up by a court?

this column is typical of a journalist who would ask probing questions on any other topic presented to him/her, but when the topic is Scientology, the writer's brain goes into "YesMaam" mode, and no questions are asked, no challenges issued. Apparently "investigative journalism" stops after the first allegation toward Scientology. It's suddenly "accusative journalism."

If this particular column is any measure of hilarity, I can't wait to read Cooper's book.

Someday, Paulette Cooper is going to hurt somebody. Her symptoms are all there: professional victim, taking no responsibility for her own problems, not eating so as to appear "victimized," threatening others, making up wild and unsupported stories that make professionals she hires desert her cause, manufacturing "reasons" and excuses for every proof against her.

For the safety of others, and maybe herself, Paulette needs to be with others who love her and will care for her at all times.
