Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain has backed off from his declaration<\/a> at a press conference convened to address allegations of sexual harassment\u00a0 that he was “absolutely” willing to do a lie detector test. In an interview<\/a> with Neil Cavuto of Fox News, Cain conditioned his willingness to do a lie detector test on the willingness of an accuser to do so:<\/p>\n

Cavuto:<\/strong> …There’s definitely a passion to your fans and your supporters. So, um, why not a lie detector test? You kind of offered for that in your press conference the other day. Um, put it out there, I’m taking a damn lie detector test. I’m gonna pass this with flying colors. Shut up.<\/p>\n

Cain:<\/strong> Because, here again, why negotiate against yourself. When somebody comes forward, and they have a claim against me, and *they’re* willing to take a lie detector test, *I’ll* take a lie detector test. I’m not going to go and take one against anonymous, no documentation. That’s not good business…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cain went on to cite the voice stress analysis performed by private investigator T.J. Ward:<\/p>\n

Cain:<\/strong> …And here’s the other thing. There’s a private investigator by the name of T.J. Ward out of Atlanta, Georgia who has some sophisticated technology that a lot of people may not have heard about. He took my statement from my press conference–<\/p>\n

Cavuto:<\/strong> I\u00a0heard that.<\/p>\n

Cain:<\/strong> –ran it through his software and was willing to go on record–because many law enforcement agencies use this software–and said, “Herman Cain is telling the truth.”<\/p>\n

He did the same thing for this woman who accused me the other day when she was with Gloria Allred, and went through and said, “I’m sorry, but there were a lot of untruths in that statement.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As AntiPolygraph.org has pointed out earlier<\/a>, T.J. Ward’s “sophisticated technology”–called “Layered Voice Analysis”–is produced and marketed by a charlatan<\/a> and has no scientific basis whatsoever.<\/p>\n

The Hinterland Gazette points out<\/a> that private investigator T.J. Ward has previously worked with Cain’s newly hired attorney, Lin Wood, on the Natalee Holloway case, raising the question of whether Ward’s supposed “analysis” was part of an orchestrated public relations campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
