Doc,

I know the answer to the above question.  It's because they have demons that have metastasized throughout their bodies and they now work for SATAN.  The aforementioned answer is at least as scientific as the polygraph, EH?

Proudly American!

DocHoliday,

Don't be too smug about the U.S. government's foolish reliance on polygraphy: the Canadian government does the same, albeit to a lesser extent. The Canadian Police College operates a polygraph school and the RCMP (the FBI's Canadian counterpart) has begun requiring applicants to submit to pre-employment polygraph screening. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service also relies on polygraphy, as do many municipal police departments, especially in the western provinces.

CANADIAN USES OF THE POLYGRAPH

Although not admissible as evidence, the polygraph is used in Canada both in its confession-inducing capacity in the case of crimes (a Toronto police polygrapher once memorably testified that he regarded himself as an interrogator with polygraphic training (i.e., the polygraph is a useful interrogatory prop), as well as in civil disputes where the polygrapher can either be “hostile” or “friendly”.  In criminal cases it’s actually useful for the Canadian polygraph industry that it is not admissible as evidence, as it is therefore also not open to cross examination.  So just as the ancient Roman critics were not able to inquire into the details of a specific entrails-reading “test”, so the specifics of a specific polygraph “test” are also shrouded in mystery, while the social disease that this piece of superstition spreads permeates all of society, as any citizen can get into a dispute with another citizen.

All the best, John

FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has made the momentous decision to go public with all of her allegations of criminality and coverup within the U.S. Government, facing the risk of criminal prosecution in the process. See "FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds Will Now Tell All - and Faces Charges if Necessary - to Any Major Television Network That Will Let Her" on The Brad Blog.

FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds yesterday (Saturday, 7 August 2009), for the first time, spoke at full length and under oath about the governmental criminality she observed while working as an FBI language specialist shortly after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. For coverage of Edmonds' revelations, see "Deposition of Sibel Edmonds Completed, DoJ a 'No Show', Bombshells Under Oath" on The Brad Blog.

Edmonds' deposition was videotaped in its entirety, and the deposition is expected to be made available on-line. In the meantime, a video report filmed outside the National Whistleblowers Center, where the deposition was taken, is available via YouTube:
