BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Germany's top security officials said Friday they consider the goals of the Church of Scientology to be in conflict with the principles of the nation's constitution and will seek to ban the organization.
Right, our government isn't in the business of banning. They like all kinds of torture. Reduction of rights, in-equal legal treatment, active discrimination, profiling, and that's just the gays. Can't imagine what they'd do to a group they didn't 'tolerate'. Banning is bad for the coffers... *shrug*
