	Way to go George...now here is someone we can really look to for help in understanding the terrible things that polygraph is all about....you bring to us the ramblings of a convicted spy....I do not care how he was caught.....he was caught....and is in prison for life. You somehow find some value in re-publishing his 2000 letter to Aftergood assailing the use of polygraph as a "junk science"....what a grand testimonial....a great piece of journalism....worthy of someone like you George! Congratulations

	yetanotherguest, There is clear value in determining how someone has undermined our national security. "I do not care how he was caught..." Well you should care! And the spy hunters have to admit that the polygraph was no barrier for this individual. If one person can beat you a certain way, than others can too -if they have not already! Here we learn, from the bad guy himself, what measures were easily overcome. If a burglar broke into your house through a door whose lock did not work with any consistency, you would replace the lock wouldn't you? Don't blame George for pointing out that your locksmith sucks!!
