Rich Chang reports<\/a> for the Taipei Times.<\/em> Excerpt: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All intelligence officials will be subjected to polygraph tests in future in a bid to root out spies, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced yesterday.<\/p>

Legislators said they support the ministry’s policy, but that they hoped the ministry would take human rights into consideration when implementing the tests.<\/p>

“Officials of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the military’s electronic information department, the ministry’s security unit and the National Security Bureau will randomly undergo psychological and polygraph tests on a regular basis,” Deputy Minister of National Defense Michael Tsai (\u8521\u660e\u61b2) told legislators yesterday.<\/p>

In the most recent case of espionage, Major Chuang Poh-hsing (\u838a\u4f2f\u6b23), a former official in the ministry’s electronic information department, had on six occasions downloaded secrets form the ministry’s computers and passed them on to China, Tsai said.<\/p>

“I would like to apologize for the espionage on behalf of the ministry,” Tsai said.<\/p>

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Shuai Hua-min (\u5e25\u5316\u6c11), a former head of the National Defense Management College, said he supports the polygraph policy, but that the ministry should conduct the tests properly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Shuai is apparently unaware that even a “properly” conducted polygraph “test” is without scientific basis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
