I was alerted to this by the Swifties' PR lady, Jennifer Webster. I assume this means Steve Gardner will pass his lie detector test :)

Good post, this show certainly would be interesting to freepers! Both guests actually.

Hey Nick, thanks for letting us know. I agree, good post! You forgot your little guy! Here he is!

"Steve Gardner, one of Senator John Kerry’s 12 swift boat crew members, who says he was threatened by a political operative, fired by his company and is currently broke because he refused to stand with Kerry at the Democratic Convention."

Broke? Not standing with Kerry renders one immediately "broke"? I wonder why PAX's write up is the way it is. I doubt he's broke and even if he is, what does that have to do with telling the truth, the whole point of the show?!!!!

They need to invite Slick Willie on and ask him if he raped Juanita Broderick. While they're at it they can have the Hildabeast on and ask her how Vince Foster really ended up in Fort Marcy Park.

A cautionary note:

Question: Do you intend to answer truthfully?
Answer: Yes
Result: No deception

Question: Do you watch the TV with the lights on? (control question)
Answer: Yes
Result: No deception

Question: Have you ever divulged classified information to unauthorized personnel?
Answer: No
Result: Inconclusive

Question: Are you concerned about something we have no discussed?
Answer: No
Result: No deception

Question: Have you answered truthfully?
Answer: Yes
Result: No deception

Okay. . .if I intend to answer truthfully, answered truthfully and have nothing to hide. . .why the “inconclusive? This inconclusive made my life difficult for nearly 6-months as investigators went nuts looking for something that wasn’t there.

As a former police officer I trusted the instrument. I was absolutely stunned by the result. I was confused and disappointed. I did research on the test , to include meeting with Cleve Backster, the father of the polygraph (http://www.rvconference.org/abstracts/CleveBackster-abstract02.html). Cleve was unhappy about the method the test was being used.

As a result of my research, my own experience, and given the fact that spies are trained on how to beat the thing, I have no faith in it at all.

I caution people to be careful when reading too much into the results, as they are, at best, 90% correct, and at worse, 50%. That means at best there is about a 10% false-positive rate. . .about 100 out of 1000 are unjustly accused. Also, FYI, the demographic with the highest false-positive rate are Mormons (strict moral code, I guess) and devout Catholics (same).

I just looked this up on TitanTV.com to find out what time it comes on tomorrow, and got this from the description:

"Guests include James Dale Guckert, a shill for the Republicans who posed as reporter Jeff Gannon."

Seems like someone has his mind made up about Gannon before he even takes the test.
