Monday, 14 May 2007

The editor of the BBC's Panorama programme has defended a documentary on the Church of Scientology in which a reporter shouts at one of its members.

Reporter John Sweeney lost his temper during the filming and shouted at Scientology representative Tommy Davis.

Panorama editor Sandy Smith said he was "disappointed" by Mr Sweeney's actions.
But he also said Scientology was an "extraordinary organisation" and had "no way of dealing with any kind of criticism at all". the rest
