Wagner defends Cruise against Scientology critics

Tom Cruise's producer partner Paula Wagner has slammed the Hollywood star's critics, insisting the actor has become a victim of religious prejudice because he is a Scientologist.

The 'Mission: Impossible' star recently came under fire for accusing US government officials of lying to the public in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks - comments which were made in newly-surfaced video footage promoting Scientology.
