Not necessarily. There's a good reason why polygraph results are not admissible in court - it's because they essentially measure how nervous you are. If you are a good liar, you can pass - and if you're nervous because you're being interrogated by the cops, you will fail.

This is not to say that the Marines are actually guilty. This only says that polygraph results are meaningless junk science.

So when the SecNavy finally relents and cleans house at NCIS he can 1) abolish the polygraph and 2) insist that interviews be recorded. That’s for starters.

Good to see you, jude.

Shows how little you actually know about the polygraph.

Actually, polygraphs are still used by some investigators to weed out or hone in on possible suspects before interrogations. Nayda Manlee chose not to believe a Marine who passed his, over the word of some Iraqis whose stories did not match his. She chose to do several things that don't make sense in an investigation looking for the truth.

Good to see you again, jude.
