Sergeant 1107, T. Cullen, T.M. Cullen, Getrealalready:  Do you consider yourselves more qualified or less qualified than George or Gino to to render criticism, training, or advice regarding Polygraph, Polygraph Countermeasures, Polygraph Research, and Interview/Interrogation procedures?

Do you think the NAS is qualified to render criticism of the polygraph?  Especially, in light of the APA's claim that the polygraph is scientifically valid.

Congress apparently did.  After all, they have ACTUAL doctoral degrees, not phoney  Ph'Ds like you find in the field of polygraphy.  In a similar vein, many 'snake oil" salesmen in the old west proferred the title of "Doctor" to themselves.

We need to expose all pseudo-sciences for what they are.  How many Aldrich Ames, or "Green River" killers are we going to let go because "Well, they passed the polygraph..."?

P.S.  I hope you will take GM up on his invitation for you to start a thread in the appropriate section to point out the inaccuracies in TLBTLD.  If GM is so lacking in qualifications, it should be very easy for you to point these out in his book.
