Polygraphs are a joke. Voodoo police work.

Any high level Clinton operative could beat them anyway.

This whole Plea agreement is a joke. Nobody appears to want to know what Burglar was doing or what he destroyed.

I agree. If he is a sociopath and agreed to take one, he could fool it anyway. A complete joke and a waste of time. They might as well use a ouija board for crying outloud.

They serve as a psychological rubber hose! When they do work, its on the average joe who made a mistake while being a mostly pro-social person. Psychopaths beat them every time. So it can be said, government use of polygraphs (and voice stress analyzers) selects the psychopaths as truthful over the conscience possessing average joe!

So why doesn't Berger take the test? Especially if he has nothing to hide? Oh, I see. Maybe he does have something to hide?

No matter at this point. It is part of the plea agreement. Make him take the ploygraph, and if he refuses then cancel the plea deal and re-open the case against him for treason.

What about Voice Stress Analysis?...........any good?.....

[AmishDude]

Maybe so, but national security orgs use polygraphs all the time. Polygraphs are very bad for police work because they don't work on sociopaths. The premise of using them for national security is that you presume that most people who have gotten to that point are not full sociopaths (I know, I know) and that the fear of a polygraph will lead them to reveal the truth voluntarily.

Regardless, the Court Ordered Sentence requires that toon's lap-dog has to take a polygraph test and be questioned in depth about his motivation (from Rush Limbaugh).
