Dre,

Concur with the Canadian.  You were played like a fine Steinway piano.

From a polygrapher's favorite quote book :

I'm on your side.

I'm your friend.

The background Investigator is in a separate division; I don't have to tell him anything.
 
I want to help you get through this.

Anything you tell me will be held in strict confidence.

The polygraph doesn't lie.

The polygraph can't be beat.

You need to come clean.

Here, just write down what you did, and we can move on.  It's not a big deal at all.
   
You want the job, don't you?


and the list goes on and on...............

A couple of Golden Rules if you ever find yourself in the interrogation chair again:

1.  Don't volunteer information.
2.  Make sure that what comes out of your mouth, is exactly the same as what is written in your background package.
3.  Never, ever admit to knowing about countermeasures.
4.  Don't be tricked into admitting anything that you didn't do.  
5.  Stick to your guns; don't change any of your stories.
6.  Oh yeah, and did I mention: Don't volunteer information.

Remember that these poly examiners are skilled interrogators, not just some dork sitting behind a laptop computer having a casual conversation with you.  
You need to have your gameface on the second you step foot in their office, and never let down your guard for a second.  You are being evaluated and sized up every second you are there.  Don't ever forget this.

Good luck in the future.  Hopefully, you have learned something from this experience.
