A long-time participant in the AntiPolygraph.org message board has received confirmation from an informed source close to the Ana Belen Montes espionage case that Montes took and passed at least one counterintelligence-scope polygraph examination during her 16-year career at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). See the following message thread and scroll down to the 13th reply: http://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?board=Policy&action=display&num=1001149488According to a document filed in support of her plea agreement, Montes had been recruited by Cuban intelligence even before she began working for the DIA. This indicates that Montes, like CIA spy Aldrich Hazen Ames, beat the polygraph. To learn how anyone can...
