PROAc,

Congressional staffers are not compelled to submit to polygraph "testing" as a condition for a top secret clearance.

Note that apart from the Foreign Service/State Department, other agencies do grant top secret clearance without a polygraph seance, for example, the Department of Defense (though it may require a polygraph depending on the kind of information to which the individual will have access).

George, can you ask your press contacts of congressional staff members (the professional staffers) are required to take a polygraph before they received their TS clearances? The only government department/agency that don't require a polygraph test is the Foreign Service of the State Department (ya know, our diplomats serving overseas).

The Washington Post website includes a RealPlayer file with a CNBC interview of Dana Priest, who broke the story of the Senate and House intelligence committee members' refusal to submit to polygraph interrogations in the ongoing leak probe: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/mmedia/nation/080102-12v.htm If Congress won't take polygraphs, why should anyone else?
