Today's (27 Oct. 2002) New York Times magazine features an article by Matthew Brzezinski titled, "Hady Hassan Omar's Detention" that documents Mr. Omar's long detention (in solitary confinement) without charge based on unsubstantiated suspicion after the events of 11 Sept. 2001. The article describes two polygraph interrogations by an FBI special agent. His passing the first one did not clear him of suspicion, however.

The interesting thing is that a passed polygraph should not clear one of suspicion.  However, I have no doubt that had this gentleman failed his polygraph, it would have been held up as proof of guilt.  

Our government truly behaves shamefully sometimes.
