Do you think there will be a knee jerk reaction for the world of polygraph from the recent leaked documents?
I expect that there will be a push from polygraph proponents within the Department of Defense for expanded polygraph screening. Especially if PFC Bradley Manning (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bradley_Manning), the intelligence analyst suspected of providing the documents (http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Afghan_War_Diary,_2004-2010) to WikiLeaks, was not subject to periodic polygraph screening.
He probably was subjected to polygraph screening. If so, maybe he just had an inexperienced polygraph operator. False negatives do occur, but are EXTREMELY rare! ;D
