From Wire Dispatches and Staff Reports

The Religious Technology Center (RTC) yesterday sued The Washington Post
and two of its reporters, charging they have engaged in "extensive
intentional copyright infringement and trade secrets misappropriation,
targeting confidential Scientology scriptures." 

RTC, which holds the intellectual property rights of Scientology, filed
suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. U.S.
District Judge Leonie Brinkema will hold a hearing Friday on a temporary
restraining order and RTC's impoundment application to retrieve its
documents from the newspaper. 

The new lawsuit is an amendment of an RTC suit against Arlington resident
Arnaldo Lerma, who allegedly posted Scientology documents on the Internet.
The new suit charges that The Post and its reporters - Richard Leiby and
Marc Fisher - aided Mr. Lerma and illegally quoted Scientology materials
in a report.
