The BBC interviewer (John Sweeney) completely blew it! Any genuine points he may have made against Scientology were negated by his manic outburst. It was like witnessing a baby in a full blown tantrum, but very scary to see in a grown man! Halfway through his rant he almost regains control but then losees it again, it's some funny shit. Bottom line is the scientologists came across as misguided screwballs, but the BBC guy came across as a full blown fucking psycho! I'll be suprised if they employ this guy again for anything!

Sweeney said his outburst came while he was touring a Scientology exhibition in Los Angeles, "Psychiatry: Industry of Death." The exhibit included a mock-up of a Nazi torture chamber, he said, adding that he lost it in the "Mind Control" section of the exhibition.
"I have been shouted at, spied on, had my hotel invaded at midnight, denounced as a 'bigot' by star Scientologists, brainwashed _ that is how it felt to me _ in a mock-up of a Nazi-style torture chamber and chased round the streets of Los Angeles by sinister strangers."

If I was in front of those lunatics, I'd probaly do an outburst myself.
They were badgering him and Sweeney gave them what they were looking for. That's a professional error, he admits. But still, these people must be denounced, and the BBC will show the documentary.
