Actually I was looking forward for the same discussion.If someone out here has sufficient knowledge it would be highly appreciated to spread some light on it.I know we can use google link's and all but it would be good to have a more human touch to it.So any scientologists out here?

Ok what is this has to do with internet freedom...as i have read in news sites... And why hackers are attacking their sites? Please more info regarding this will be nice
