	A 115-page report by former Guantanamo detainees Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Rhuhel Ahmed documenting torture and other abuses by U.S. forces also describes the administration of both polygraph and voice stress analysis "tests" at Camp X-Ray. To the best of my recollection, this is the first documentation I have found of the federal government relying on voice stress analysis. A synopsis of the report, titled "Composite statement: Detention in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay," is available from the Center for Constitutional Rights here: http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/reports/report.asp?ObjID=4bUT8M23lk&Content=424 The report itself is available as a word-searchable PDF file here: http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/reports/docs/Gitmo-compositestatementFINAL23july04.pdf Voice stress tests, which one of the former detainees was told are "better than a polygraph," are mentioned at paragraphs 209 and 235. Polygraphs are mentioned at paragraphs 174-179, 194, 209, 216, 241, and 306.

	A recent television news report mentions that the Special Forces are using Computerized Voice Analyzers (CVSA) to interrogate suspected terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet the device's manufacturer admits that CVSA is not capable of lie detection. See: http://antipolygraph.org/news.shtml#wbns-01-12-04

	A Google search turned up the on-line resume of a chief warrant officer in the Army National Guard who worked in his civilian capacity for Lockheed Martin at Guantanamo from December 2002 to April 2004. Under this section of the resume, the last item details his training as a CVSA operator: Quote: December 2002 to April 2004 Senior Site Representative, Lockheed Martin, JTF-GTMO, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba · Served as Tiger Team Project Lead and Senior Site Representative, Lockheed Martin (previously ACS Defense) at JTF-GTMO, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom; responsible for administrative oversight and control for 51 civilian All-Source Intelligence Analysts and Interrogator/Debriefer contractor personnel working with DoD Interrogation and Analysis Elements. · Responsible for performance of company projects at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, including interrogation activities, intelligence report preparation and intelligence analysis production. · Responsible for subordinate employee training, performance assessments, recognition and disciplinary actions. · Responsible for accountability of contractor personnel, coordination of shifts and work schedules, employee counseling, and interaction with military customer on behalf of individual personnel and Lockheed Martin. · Worked and coordinated with customer (DoD), Department of Homeland Security, and other US Intelligence Services to resolve contract and “outside the contract” issues.
