[Buddha-l] Buddhism and AA

Some of you may have seen an article about a US federal court decision 
involving a Buddhist who, when released from prison, was ordered by his 
parole office to join Alcoholics Anonymous. The Buddhist sued, claiming that 
AA is a religious organization and that being ordered to attend meetings 
there violated his constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of religion. 
He won his case.

Any comments?
