Rael's genius

Brigitte Mccann, Sun Media Newspapers:
Today, Claude Vorilhon, known to his followers as Rael, laughingly contends that the cloning controversy was perhaps a simple stroke of genius to make his movement known.
"Even if you want to think that we did all that only for publicity, it is wonderful. If that is the case, we are promotional geniuses," he says.
"But if what we say we did is true, we are also scientific geniuses. In any case, we are geniuses. Wonderful. In any case, we win."
In an interview earlier this year, he said analysts estimated the media attention was worth nearly $500 million in free publicity.
