Anybody who knows what an interrogation is versus what a test is, even if only from the meanings in a dictionary, should be well-schooled after reading TLBTLD and reading the posts here.  Even a minute's pondering of the process of the poly should make someone realize that there's something fishy in the whole thing...

FYI, a test, oral or otherwise, seeks a known truth(s).  When was WWI ended, and by what?  What is dropped every New Year's from a pole in Times Square?  Simple.

A poly seeks BFB... and uses massive doses of extrapolation, together with the 3rd degree and speculation regarding irrelevant "norms", to piece together something less than even a criminal profile.  BTW, John Douglas does a lot better with his profiling than Mr. Gelb with his rhabdomancy...

............then what was the purpose of publishing the following handbook and using it as part of the DOD polygraph (?psychophysiological?) curriculum?

http://antipolygraph.org/documents/dodpi-interrogation.pdf

I skimmed though it and it explains a lot things concerning the behavior and tactics of polygraph INTERROGATORS when conducting their so-called scientific test.  A MUST READ for new applicants.
