Title: Re: Dr. Phil Lie Detector Series, 6-7 Nov. 2006

It's amazing that DR. Phil put the disclaimer that the man "passed" the 2nd version! He should be sued for slander, as this was all but hidden.

Now I see that a "lie detector" test does not detect lies, but detects only the sympathetic system. So on a job interview, i am nervous, so I could be considered a liar. Dr. Phil did indeed badger the poor man. Example: "oh, isn't your screen name Anal (something)?" OK, so what if it is? "Oh, do you use the internet, where there are thousands of hits for how to beat a polygraph test"? Yes, said the poor Jeremy, he uses the computer sometimes....but so do 50 million other americans use the internet. Feeble circumstantial evidence! "Did you feed cake with your tongue to Kayle?" Jeremy: "oh......hmmm..." (a moment of confusion, trying to recollect what he could be talking about" Aha! you hesitated. you're guilty! But if the man was lying, he could have just said "no" automatically.

Poor, innocent blacks have been tried and hung many a time due to this kind of treatement, before Miranda.

Should we contact Dr. Phil's show to complain about the 2nd polygraph test not being revealed during the show?
