THOSE WHO OPPOSE SCIENTOLOGY
When it was over, the commitment section of the bill was deservedly dead, leaving merely an act to authorize mental health funding to the territory of Alaska.
A wounded psychiatry struck back, this time utilizing the FDA as its main battering ram. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, Scientologists later uncovered a mountain of documents which well demonstrated the activities of the participants — egged on by members of both the AMA and APA. A veritable beehive of activity took place, with letters and meetings between interested psychiatric parties; the Department of Justice; the Washington, DC, police department; the United States Post Office; the IRS; the AMA of course; and even the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Command — all continuously linked and regularly prodded by a now extremely nervous psychiatry.
The upshot of all these schemes? The first action was a ludicrous failure, the second a waste of time, the third an embarrassment.
