I say switch to waterboarding if they're going to complain about taking a polygraph test.

It’s good to see the deep state top brass getting a lesson on leak discipline.

There are pathological liars out there that can easily pass a lie detector test. There’s a reason why they’re inadmissible in court.

Ok. Polygraphs twice as often.

Nice article. Leaves the reader none the wiser as to why Weaver would object

The adviser in question, Patrick Weaver, complained to White House officials this spring that he was worried about being directed by Hegseth or another member of his team to submit to a polygraph test.

It's very considerate of Señor Weaver to self-identify as a domestic enemy.

I question if any of this is true. I don’t trust anything from the Washington Post.

If they don’t work and are unreliable tests, what’s the problem? If you are interviewed and are asked to stand up and then sit down, do you do it? Or protest?
It’s one piece of info. It does show stress and reactions to verbal and physical stimulus.

So, there is no reason to protest. It’s not a Lie Detector test. It’s a physical stress response test.

If Men can be Wyhmin, then a test can be anything it wants to be

All the Obama Generals and top civilians need to be reassigned to field units.

The leaky bucket (WH) still drips eternally...

What is worse, the President endorses the leaks by stopping the only investigative tool...

Yikes!
The chicoms and American Communists are all jumping for joy...

Lets just call it a stress analysis test looking into the well being and job satisfaction of senior DOD employees. Also don’t you basically sign your civil rights away when you sign employment contracts in positions where you handle Top Secret data.

Polygraph is standard procedure for anyone who needs a Top Secret clearance. No good reason to object to this.

I was a Dept. of Energy contractor. Everyone with a clearance was available for a polygraph. If called, show up or be fired.
For higher clearances you Would be polygraphed and get a psychological review, again if called up, show up or be fired.

Grow up dumb-a$$e$

He has to change the DoD Order and the DoD Instruction.

Get rid of this bullshit signed by Klapper:

“Polygraph and PCASS examinations require the consent of the examinee.”

I have mixed feelings about this.

There’s a reason why polygraphs aren’t admissible in court. Under test conditions, polygraph examiners have been unable to detect someone lying about his birthday, city of birth, names of children, etc. The Soviet Union trained its agents to pass polygraphs without much trouble, e.g. Aldrich Ames. There’s issues with unscrupulous examiners determining deception because they believe it pleases their employer, or simply to show how “tough” they are.

Still, the SecDef needs to get to the bottom of leaks. They endanger the national security. Polygraphs are a fact of life in most police departments and intelligence agencies.

Is this like all those Biden administration folks who are guilty of a coverup when subpoenaed by Congress pleading the fifth? Only worried about a lie detector test uncovering lies.
