Anybody else think the whole Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes thing is a bit freaky?

Wow.
Talk about insane. They tried to TAKE OVER Morocco at one point.

Hubbard and his organisation abruptly stopped writing to the FBI. The turning point was Hubbard's disastrous attempt in 1972 to win influence in Morocco where, as part of a four-pronged plan to take over control in Morocco, Scientology training was given to Moroccan secret police agents, showing them how to use the E-meter to detect political subversives. One of his erstwhile followers "blew" and went back home to the US, where he contacted the CIA with information about Hubbard's activities. The information was passed back to the Moroccan authorities through Interpol; the faction of the secret police which Hubbard had been cultivating realised their danger and launched an unsuccessful coup against King Hassan. On 3 December 1972, Hubbard and every Scientologist in Morocco fled on the Lisbon-bound ferry, shredding every piece of paper which could not be taken with them. Had Hubbard been caught by the Moroccan authorities, it is more than likely that he would have been executed for high treason.
