'I saved lives after 9/11': Tom Cruise

Washington, Jan 18 : A new video of Tom Cruise has surfaced on the Internet, however this time the actor is not lauding his scientology beliefs, but taking credit for saving lives after 9/11.

The 2004 footage shows the Mission Impossible star calling the Environmental Protection Agency liars for saying the air was clean after 9/11.

The actor also recounted his experience of finding a Scientology detox center for relief workers after the disaster and proudly notes he didn¹t ask permission from the city officials to do so.

"The [Environmental Protection Agency] came out and said the air was clean. Of course, as a Scientologist you go, that's a lie. Outright lie. Liar. Fine," the Usmagazine.com quoted him, as saying in the video.

"Finally you say, dammit, just go there and do it. Put it there, let's go, here's the money, let's go. Let's just get one person treated. I can't sleep another night.

"[Scientologists] have tools that we can apply to ourselves and apply to others. You're gonna get improvements. Period," he added.
