Miscavige sits on the horns of a real dilemma — what do you do?
Dump Narconon to avoid being associated and as a result have the government win easy convictions and embolden other agencies,
or
Jump in and defend them with all he's got, become totally identified with Narconon, and still lose because the truth is that Narconon has been utterly criminal and deserve to be convicted? And in that case, the Department of Justice and others will know the church is no longer invicible.
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I certainly hope there are some people in the DOJ who are following Tony Ortega's stories. Behand the apparently unbreachable wall is a cesspool. And the cesspool isnt just Narconon. Their sewage just happened to seep out first — it tends to happen when people die under your care. I hope it doesnt have to go that far before anyone decides to take on the church itself.
