Taylor,I've been wondering the same thing. Perhaps Anal Sphincter will point out another myth to the anti's, as he torments the more rabid followers of George.

One poster, answering Anal Sphincter, (Sluggo, I believe) notes that no espionage agent has been caught by polygraph. It’s time we laid that ghost to rest.
That is the same mantra that has been bantered about by others on that site. And by esteemed members of the National Academy of Sciences panel, even though they were made privy to information clearly demonstrating that some spies have been stopped in their tracks by use of the polygraph.
Indeed, Dr. Kathryn Lasky, speaking of the NRC’s findings following their report on polygraph voiced the same misinformation. However, she was called on the statement by a former CIA examiner who posted his statement on at least one internet message board (http://www.fas.org/sgp/eprint/sullivan.html). However, her mis-statement stands.
There are people who know the truth, perhaps George and his minions need to be reminded every once in a while.
