Title: Even CIA admits they're BS
Post by: jackmac82 on Jul 14, 2017, 05:54 PM
I'm new here so I'm for sure if this is the right place to post.

Recently, I was on the CIA's FOIA Library page looking through the CREST database. I was look at the shockingly homophobic memos/policies CIA has had over the years. But I suddenly came accross a memo on the poligraph where the Director of Security states:

"...using the poligraph as a lie detector is not valid not reliable and is therefore unreliable."

Needless to say, I was kind of shocked but no surprised.

Anyway, here's the file and a link to the original if anyone's interested. I hope this isn't a re-post. If it is, then I apologize.

Actually, that same sentence could be applied just as accurately to the whole CIA !   ;D
