Hypermellow; I have looked into "Anonymous" and it is far from an organized group but rather a "Vox Populi" of the net whose only leader is general consensus. If you study their history you will see that the group has undergone a massive change in the last month, while it used to be a small group of kids that liked to prank call and harass people, including infamous radio racist Hal Turner and accused pedophile Chris Forcano, now the group is gaining numbers on a massive scale and they are not kids out for laughs by being mean to folks on the net. (cyber terrorism according to your fox link) Now they are mostly young adults interested in the free spread of information and that puts them at odds with the church of $cientology because the more information is out there the less likely anyone is to join that "church".
As for your assertion that Anonymous was involed in the mailing of white powder to $cientology offices I have been reading their websites and they are completely against any such behavior not only because such action would hurt their credibility and be a immoral act but also because it is unnecessary, all people need to do to make the COS irrelevant is to spread factual information about it.
I might also point out that in Operation Freakout one of it's tactics against perceived enemy Paulette Cooper was to go into her house, steal paper with her fingerprints on it, and to use this paper to mail fake bomb threats to their own offices so in light of the COS's past acts and their history of using any means necessary against any that oppose them I would cast a very doubtful glance on any claims they make.

The last time that scientology was discussed here it was one of the longest comment threads I have ever seen on this site. with lots of comments from scientologists but today they all must be out fishing.
Or taking a flying saucer trip.
Or waiting for orders from headquarters.

Seriously guys, nobody hates you, but your org has been as you say"out ethics" for a long time.

Your leaders threaten people.
They sue and harass people.
They deceive and manipulate and call it "handling"
They break up families and try to ruin lives.
Believe what you want and practice as you will (If it harms none) but the Church of scientology in its present form must end.
This will happen.
without violence
without anger
without hate.
If you want to practice your ways seek out the Freezone people on the web but do it on a computer that does not have COS software installed on it.

I have been reading about this "church" on the net since the protests started and I would encourage everybody to do the same. Read three or four official scientologist websites and then read the same number of websites by ex-scientologists.
Read the church's version of the life of L Ron Hubbard and then read the official accounts.
Look up "operation snow white" and "operation freakout" and the various other crimes this "church' commits.
Look at how they respond to critics with lawsuit after lawsuit, intended not to right a wrong but just to bankrupt anyone who speaks out against them.
