Scientology’s Dirty Tricks

Journalist Tony Ortega tells the story of Paulette Cooper, a magazine freelancer who, in 1971, exposed some of the tactics of Scientology and, as a result, was framed by the leaders of that religion. This involved fake bomb-threat letters and she was facing 15 years in federal prison if convicted. She was finally exonerated after the FBI raided Scientology in 1977. From 2007 to 2012, Ortega was editor in chief of The Village Voice, and he's been investigating and writing about Scientology since 1995.
