I know Ed Gelb, and he has strict rules for letting the media view polygraph, and I can assure you that the test was over with at the time those pictures were taken.

It sounds as though it's well past the time Gelb should have answered all questions concerning the questionable PhD. APA, at a minimum should have asked questions and resolved Gelb's issue long ago.

The man is playing with his own credibility if he hasn't been directly involved in resolving this issue. Not a good game for anyone, especially a polygraph examiner!

Regarding the exam photo. I prefer to place the EDA & BP cuff on different arms. In my opinion the lower pneumo should be placed lower than observed. Isn't the center of the abdominal area the best position for an optimal abdominal tracing? I also prefer to have the examinee seated in front of me where I can observe them, head to toe. Again, personal preference based on my experience.

END.....

"Regular readers of AntiPolygraph.org may recall that last year, Ed Gelb performed a polygraph test on Wendy Ellis, a former prostitute who claimed that U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) had been a customer. That polygraph examination was also paid for by a pornographer: Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine."

"Comparing the polygraph report that Gelb prepared on Ellis with those he prepared on Sinclair, one notes a glaring difference: for the Ellis polygraph report, he scored the charts both manually and with a computerized scoring algorithm:"

Quote:
"The resultant polygrams were traditionally (manually) scored and then scored by computer using an algorithm developed by the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University. This algorithm has been validated by the National Security Agency and is presently being utilized by the Department of Defense. The results of this scoring are included in this report. The scoring indicates that the examination was "NDI" (no deception indicated) with a probability of deception of less than .01 when Ellis answered the relevant questions as indicated above."

"The results of the computerized examination indicate that Wendy Ellis was telling the truth when she answered the relevant questions."

"During the post test interview, Ellis was advised of the results of the examination."

"But Gelb only mentions the results of his hand-scoring of the charts in his two reports for Sinclair (concerning his sex and drug allegations, respectively). Why did Gelb fail to include computerized scoring results for Sinclair's polygraph examinations? Gelb's omission raises the question of whether there was a discrepancy between his hand scoring and the decision rendered by the computer."

After the events of yesterday and this morning we will no longer be posting the video of the Polygraph testing or the secondary Polygrapher Expert’s results. To be accused of taking a bribe to suppress this story along with all of the hate mail and messages sent by Larry Sinclair supporters who believe we did something to taint the results has been very disturbing.

No matter what we put up it will never be good enough for his supporters. Mr. Sinclair was also given every opportunity to let us talk to the limousine driver to corroborate his story and he failed to do so. This will be the last post on this matter as this matter needs to be put to bed. We will be going back to regular reporting.

gm: Sadly, WhiteHouse.com's decision to withhold this information can only serve to fuel (with some justification) speculation regarding the true motivations for such a decision and what actually transpired in Gelb's polygraph suite.
