Dear Skeptic,

Here is a twist to add:  I was also convinced that the polygraph had to have some validity for the FBI to be using it in the way they are in applicant processing.

I thought my examiner's "attacks" were part of a psychological test of spirit and will.  He knew what I was saying was truthful because the polygraph proved it but he was going to play with my mind to see if I would break under stressful interrogating.  

The only problem was the more I denied doing anything and not confessing to anything, the more infuriated he seemed to become.  In reality, he WAS accusing me of using countermeasures, I had not, and he was absolutely convinced I was.  He wanted a confession to get a gold star on the report.

What a twisted tale is woven in the polgraph examiner's room.

Regards.
