3 of my 4 FBI polygraphers told me that George has confessed to lying about things and that this is a matter of record. so it seems he is quite legendary in at least FBI circles

If anyone has read the personal statement of “Police Sergeant” on the home page of this web site, you would have seen that it was also reported to my agency that I had confessed to lying.  In my situation they were told I confessed to lying about stealing army equipment.  It simply wasn’t true, but the report was twisted around enough so it sounded plausible.  I didn’t get that job.  A “confession” in a polygraph examination is not always what a reasonable person would deem a confession in any other setting.

Needless to say, hearing that FBI polygraph examiners believe George confessed to lying doesn’t mean a whole lot to me.

Even if George lied on every single answer that doesn’t change the basic accuracy of the polygraph; I know from my own experience that the polygraph is inaccurate to the point of uselessness.  When the polygraph community answers questions about their profession with personal attacks they discredit themselves as well as their side of the argument.
