If I'm understanding the dissenters well enough, it appears that soldiers unknowingly using lie detectors that are easily fooled is better than the truth about these devices coming out?

Thats insane.

The enemy and/or criminals already know just how unreliable lie detectors are. The only people fooled by happy-happy-joy-joy BS Media as to the effectiveness of these devices is the soldiers trusting their lives to them and the mis-informed public regarding the effectiveness of the devices.

I find it stunning that so many people here are lining up to call this man unpatriotic when the entire point of the exercise was to inform those in most need of the info that the devices ARE NOT reliable ways of determining truth from lies.

To the folks attacking the lack of testing, whats the point of testing the devices? After all, if these devices are as good as advertised, they are either unbeatable, or nearly so, rendering testing or lack thereof points moot.

Pick one folks..

Either the devices work well rendering the ability to fool them moot

or

The devices DO NOT work well and this info should have been provided by the govt and/or manuf., as opposed to a private citizen taking time out to post this info. Sadly, with Bush/Cheney's credibility so far down in the toilet due to their repeated and numerous outright lies, are we supposed to trust their words on the effectiveness of the devices?..HA

You dont get it both ways.. even in the world of Bush Hypocrisy...

Try again and this time think thru your arguements before you attack the man.

Lastly, the Patton paper-tiger army used to distract germany on D-day is not a fair analogy. No one was using his army to fight with, just to suck german tank divisions away from the point of attack. These lie detectors are not being used as a distraction, but as the actual fighting army's tools.

If the lie detectors were empty boxes, w/ little LEDs on them, your analogy *might* be closer to target...
