(DEEP BREATH) Okay, guys...remember in the course of research around, what, 2-3,000 posts ago Scientology came up? Remember? We kept stumbling across them in our research. We all seemed to agree that perhaps Felos was mixed up with them, due to similar viewpoints. Here's an interesting tidbit I came across tonight...

From http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/CoS/timeline.html

1988

St. Pete Times seeks to unseal files in four lawsuits against Scientology that settled in 1986. Although court files are normally open, the judge granted the church's request to seal these cases over the objections of opposing lawyers. The Church wanted to keep them closed.

Times lawyers argued in a motion in October that closing the files violated the First Amendment, interfering with the newspaper's right to gather and publish news. The suits alleged that Scientologists invaded the plaintiff's privacy and abused the courts by filing malicious injunctions.

Earle C. Cooley, national counsel for the Church of Scientology said, in reference to Scientologists opposing the Times' motion to unseal the files, "I don't know where the press gets the idea that it has a right to intervene in an agreement entered into by both parties and approved by the court."

"Mr. Cooley's memory is failing him," responded plaintiff's attorney Walter D. Logan. "We never agreed to seal the court files."

Patricia Fields Anderson, an attorney for the Times, said case law requries that court records be open, "and the burden of proof is on them to show why these cases should be closed."

I just thought it was interesting. If Felos is associated with Scientology, it would certainly explain any animosity on his part toward Pat Anderson.
