Kay,

I'm sorry to learn of your unhappy experience with the CIA's polygraph division. They very commonly falsely accuse applicants of deception, and many qualified applicants are wrongly barred from employment based on the erroneous results of this pseudoscientific "test." If you'd like to discuss your polygraph experience, feel free to post here or to get in touch with me privately. You'll find my contact information at the bottom of this post.

You can also contact John Sullivan directly regarding his book. You'll find a link to his e-mail address here:

gentleman/ladies, this past week I had my "time" to go through this "polly" with those "guys", needless to say, I will probably not be joining the ranks based on those tests.  Anyway, can you please let Mr.  Sullivan know that I just loved his book the "gatekepper" and I found it very educational.

Sullivan, author of the recently published, Gatekeeper: Memoirs of a CIA Polygraph Examiner.

The interview may be downloaded as a 26.5 mb MP3 file here:

Though not discussed in the interview, it is worth noting that the CIA polygraph division was not at all pleased with Mr. Sullivan's book and retaliated by "failing" him on a polygraph "test."

So we've gone from the social psychology section of the bookshelf back to plain ole' fashioned Fruedian psychosexual analysis heh?

When all else fails you resort to innuendo about sexual matters.

Peace be with your troubled soul, bro.

I've noticed that "deluded" is among the very favorite pieces of vocabulary to level at the polygraph - I'm weary of reading it already.

You guys should invest in a thesaurus, it would make this more interesting.

George, isn't 'The Gatekeepers' a book  where it is revealed that literally thousands of innocent
people were falsely accused of crimes they never committed and the foolish polygraph examiners
all die and go to hell ? (if i can fix yr spelling I can fix yr mind as well)

Hi,
Yes, its about a group deluded p/g examiners, down on work and out looking to rusttil up trubbil.
One has an alter ego that wears funny hats and drinks beer, whilst wearing a manic gay expression.
Another is a lesbian who wishes she was born a cowboy and has fantasies involving 'rope'
Another has named himself after his doubtful manhood, hence the use of 'mystery'
The last has is a bit like the first, except better looking.

George, isn't 'The Gatekeper' a book  where it is revealed that literally hundreds of spies and double agents were caught by polygraphs.

George, I am suprised that you have not offered a formal review of the book. I would be interested in such a review. I disagree with nearly everything you write, but that doesn't mean that what you have to say isn't interesting to me.

regards
