Pentagon Issues Pocket Lie Detectors

I’d like to say they must be kidding, but I’m afraid it’s only par for the course.

The Pentagon is planning to give US troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan "hand-held lie detectors" aimed at rooting out potential insurgents and terrorists. But polygraph experts doubt the system's accuracy and Defense Department memos show results of the few tests that were run were manipulated to demonstrate more success with them than was achieved, according to an MSNBC investigative reporter.

  Raw Story

Of course.

”The portable lie-detectors are far less accurate than a typical polygraph,” which we can’t even use for court trials here, much less throwing somebody into Gitmo – or worse.

Simply insane.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
