George,

I'd give you a point or two for digging up that quote except I don't believe it was an objection to recording interviews, polygraphs or interrogations, it was simply an explanation as to why it isn't done.  I stand by what I said.  The primary reason law enforcement does not routinely record interviews/interrogations is simply that much of what is said it taken out of context by defense attornies and presented to juries in such a manner as to lead them to believe a persons rights were violated, or the law enforcement officers did something illegal, improper, or wrong.  Contrary to popular belief, it isn't always the law enforcement officials who object to recording what they do, it's the prosecutors.  There have been numerous occasions where I would have loved to have a confession on tape, however was prohibited from doing so.  Even though I have no personal objection to recording interviews or interrogations, I can certainly understand the reluctance to do so.  Our jury system if far from perfect, and defense attornies are fully aware of what it takes to overload the somewhat limited mental capacities of many jurors.

Maybe you should be going after prosecutors, and elected officials rather than law enforcement officers and polygraph examiners as it pertains to recording various procedures related to interviews and interrogations, to include polygraph examinations.

Again, I believe you are willing to throw the baby out with the bath water simply because you perceive yourself as having been wronged by polygraph.  You have said that if you had received the postion that was denied to you (as a result of your 'failed' polygraph) then your personal vendetta against polygraph would never have come to being.  I'm sorry, but I have to seriously question your overall motives as it pertains to this crusade of yours against polygraph.  I would be much more impressed if you had taken this position regardless of your polygraph results, however by your own admission, we wouldn't be having this conversation if you had 'passed'.
