Congratulations?  Indeed!  The CIA should use every legal tool at their disposal to prevent this from happening again.  Maybe next time the murderer will get his information from this site and then congratulations will really be in order!

I believe the point George was making is that the CIA showed good judgment by not using a polygraph test to do their thinking for them.  Had the subject in this case been polygraphed and "passed" it is unlikely that would have caused him to fall under any additional scrutiny.
