Please elucidate.
The polygraph elucidated Fear is a strong emotion, one that the polygraph operator interprets falsely as a lie.
The ruse that Poly Exposer is referring to is called deception.
I was said to have had a ‘reaction’ to the ‘have you ever intentionally mishandled classified information’ question. I was called back two days later and was told that I ‘bombed’ it. I freaked out because I thought without a clearance, I would lose my job of 14 years. I told him everything that I and my office had done to transfer classified information since 9/11. A lot of it was, depending on who you asked, potentially dangerous to security. I wrote a four point paper discussing some of the questionable methods and submitted it to the SSO. I later obtained copies of these first two polygraph ‘exams’ and discovered that they had actually been rated – No Opinion (NO). I also found out later through discovery that the DIA IG looked at my memo and declared that no security violations were found.
I was called back a third, fourth and fifth time. Each time they pressured me more and more to confess. Their ‘results’ bounced back and forth between Significant Response (SR) and No Opinion (NO). The fear of the question consumed me, I could not control my anxiety – the mere thought of the question made me nervous. But they kept asking and asking, with increasing intensity. It starts with insinuations and quickly turns in to accusations.
Why does it take four to five hours to ask five questions?
If the test is accurate, why do you need to give it five times in three years?
It was after the fifth test, the one in the electric chair-like setting in the DIA Office of Security, that I had the nervous breakdown that has dogged me to this day.
You see, it really is a mind-crappity smack like Doug Williams says.
