November 29, 1995 Scientology Suit Against Post Dismissed A lawsuit against The Washington Post by the Church of Scientology has been dismissed by a federal judge, who ordered the church to pay all attorney fees in the suit. U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said the church had no grounds to prohibit The Post from printing brief excerpts from religious texts that the church has tried to conceal from the public. "The court finds the motivation of plaintiff in filing this lawsuit against The Post is reprehensible," Brinkema wrote, " ... it has become clear that a much broader motivation prevailed - the stifling of criticism and dissent of the religious practices of Scientology and the destruction of its opponents." lawsuits, Press
