Unsuccesful Viral Video Banning - Crazy Cruise on Scientology (VIDEO)

In the eight minute video that has bloggers buzzing, Tom Cruise shares his views as a Scientologist.
“We’re the authorities on getting people off drugs. We’re the authorities on the mind. We’re the authorities on improving conditions,” he continues.
“We can rehabilitate criminals. Way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures.”
This four year old video’s surfacing coincides with the release of a new book “Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography” by Andrew Morton, who also uses the book as a platform to defame Scientology.
But let’s hear more from Tom.
“Being a Scientologist, you look at someone, and you know absolutely that you can help them. When you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else; as you drive past, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you’re the only one that can really help.”
The video keeps getting pulled off YouTube, likely due to threats from the Church of Scientology, but gawker.com is sticking with it.
At one point, the actor starts laughing, and clapping his hands, apparently amused by a religious in-joke. He recalls being asked whether he has ever met an "SP".
He says: "I looked at them and I thought, what a beautiful thing. Maybe one day it will be like that. Wow. SPs. Maybe they will just read about them in the history books. [But] it's not about how to run from an SP. It's PTSP - how do you shatter or confront that oppression."
The video's appearance comes as Andrew Morton, the author of a controversial biography of Diana, Princess of Wales, a publishes a book about the Hollywood star, alleging that the 45-year-old actor ranks second in command in the Church of Scientology.
