Gee, did you bother to use Tor? No, seriously. The link is there for a reason.
I think, and I'm just guessing here, that if you could rationally talk about this thoroughly and explain your reasons for reading stuff on this website then perhaps you'd have had or will have more luck.
It can really be hell trying to get everything in-order for a defense intelligence-type interview. If you intended to defeat the all-covering and varied polygraph techniques employed by the CIA, then you lost.
Sometimes, people get nervous, but that doesn't excuse trying to beat the system. If you ever get another chance, just come clean.
Maybe being straightforward will get you back in the door.
Hope that helps, mk?

This is just a tid bit of info. I was rejected by the CIA once upon a time (maybe yesterday, maybe years ago, lol). During my polygraph session, I was asked "what research did you do on the polygraph, what websites did you visit"? Now everyone does some research on the polygraph, so don't try to lie and say you never have. You can just say you researched the hiring process and in that research you came across some polygraph stories. I answered the questions by naming several websites including Antipolygraph.org. Later after my rejection and when I received my FOIA file, of course, most of it was censored out, but there was a part that wasn't and it said that applicant admitted to visiting Antipolygraph.org. Not sure if this is good or bad, but it is probably bad. It is funny that they didn't note in my file that I visited all the other sites that I mentioned. I knew that my polygrapher was looking for me to name this site when I was grilled on this question, but I made sure to name several other sites as well. I probably shouldn't have named this site, but the fact is that when you google up the CIA hiring process and other key words, this site is like the first hit. I'm sure that pretty much all CIA applicants have been to this site, probably frequently, but will probably never admit it. Just like people won't admit to their favorite porn fetishes that they view in their own privacy at home. It is one of those things you don't talk about in person with others, but you will anonymously message cyber strangers about it online. The fact that the CIA put in my file that I visited AntiPolygraph.or but didn't put in the other sites (and I'm sure the other sites aren't listed in the blanked out part of the file) means that they are on to this site. They are looking for polygraph cheaters who get tips from this site. Can they spot those cheaters? I'm sure it is hit or miss. Roll the dice.
