AntiPolygraph.org has received a rather unpleasant letter<\/a> from James D’Loughy<\/a>, a lawyer representing NITV Federal Services, LLC<\/a> (NITV), which markets a scientifically baseless voice-based lie detector called the “Computer Voice Stress Analyzer,” and its president, self-described “Renaissance Man” “Dr.” Charles Humble<\/a> (who has not received a doctoral degree from any accredited institute of higher education).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his letter, D’Loughy, of the law firm Advisorlaw, which specializes in helping clients protect their assets from creditors<\/a>, demands that AntiPolygraph.org remove twelve URLs that comprise a substantial portion of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AntiPolygraph.org is a non-profit, public interest website dedicated to exposing and ending waste, fraud, and abuse associated with polygraphs and other pseudoscientific “lie detectors,” including voice stress analyzers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D’Loughy avers that a default judgment<\/a> in a lawsuit<\/a> NITV filed against its competitor, Dektor PSE<\/a>, and which, among other things, compelled Dektor to remove a website<\/a> with content critical of NITV, also compels AntiPolygraph.org\u2014which was not a party to this litigation and which has no privity with Dektor\u2014to remove the twelve links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NITV’s contention that its judgment against Dektor binds AntiPolygraph.org is absurd. Through our counsel, noted attorney (and former Westchester County, New York police commissioner) George N. Longworth<\/a> of the law firm Grant & Longworth, we have declined NITV’s demand to remove the twelve links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While NITV’s demand is without merit, it does serve to highlight the content on AntiPolygraph.org that most upsets NITV and “Dr.” Charles Humble, so it’s worth examining these links here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
