Robin Hanson (at Overcoming Naivety dot com):

My old friend Keith Henson has just been arrested again in his long conflict with the Church of Scientology, and his wife fears for his life.  Keith’s side of the story seems persuasive, but in good conscience I’d prefer to withhold judgement until I heard the other side.  Yet though Google finds 185,000 links on “Keith Henson” and “Scientology”, I can’t seem to find any of them that present the other side.  Still, the law has officially taken Scientology’s side.

Hmmm… Wait. What about this:

The Jews’ side of the Holocaust story seems persuasive, but in good conscience I’d prefer to withold judgment until I heard Adolf Hitler’s side of the story.
