	http://www.nydailynews.com/03-05-2003/news/story/64475p-60092c.html Oh, this is absolutely insane! I find it incredibly stupid to suggest that someone of Middle Eastern/Islamic background be polygraphed, but utterly insane to suggest that Khalid Mohammed be hooked up to this toy!! With absolute knowledge of the existance of the Al-Qaeda training manual, it is most certain that a top leutenant such as Khalid Mohammed would not only be aware of the section on effective countermeasures against the polygraph machine, but would by all means be very well versed in them. Once again the law enforcement/intelligence community showcases their total ineptitude and foolish arrogance. Still shaking my head over this one....... Seeker

	Polygraphing an unwilling person is even frowned upon by most polygraphers, from what I've seen. What if he refuses to talk in the first place? Of course, as the New York Times reported yesterday, the main point is to break people down; perhaps the polygraph is being suggested as a way to help do so (don't get me started on the other techniques we're evidently using right now -- if the NYT article is accurate, the interrogation of the prisoners we're holding is a shameful departure from the values this country supposedly upholds).

Skeptic Skeptic: If the polygraph is being used as a way to break Khalid Mohammed down, it futher goes to my point of how utterly ridiculous such a suggestion is! You would think that Khalid Mohammed would welcome such silliness since he most certainly is aware of his own organization's training manual that dispells all of the myths behind the polygraph. Simply stupid thinking on the part of law enforcement/intelligence agencies! Regards,
