"To I...Mr. Howard quoted from linked article:<br /><br />"To Interfor, the lack of interest in the polygraph results and the attempt at intimidation of Keefe was the strongest evidence of a cover-up by the various government authorities who did not want their permissive role in the baggage switching to be revealed."<br /><br />To Interfor, maybe, but not to me. While polygraphs looks more technical than bomb-dowsers, there is about equally much evidence that they work.<br /><br />- - -<br /><br />Like other matters, belief in polygraphs is a matter of what you put weight on. If "somebody says", "I think", "this fine company selling it claims" or "look at these success stories" or "they are based on this very scientific looking stuff" is enough, well, fine.<br /><br />But until they e.g. have been released to a scientific community and proper trials have been set up and peer-reviewed -<br /><br />- or at the very least, other experiments (again: open, reproducible and reviewed, not "somebody's claim") have confirmed that there are measurable and reliable physical signs when people "lie", as opposed to "being nervous", "having difficulties finding the right answer", "fearing for the outcome if even a truthful answer is given" and also showing the fine difference between "a lie and a half truth or incomplete/misleading answer" etc. etc. -<br /><br />- it is beyond me why anyone would put trust in the thing.<br /><br />Wikipedia's page did not exactly give me grounds for rethinking.<br /><br />It is IMHO opinion a scandal that some courts admit this as evidence, but as a we know, courts are neither based on science nor mathematics.<br />SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-42578075464924111072013-12-11T18:10:46.397+00:002013-12-11T18:10:46.397+00:00Google "the selective use of polygraphs"...Google "the selective use of polygraphs" In January 1990, Interfor gave three of the baggage handlers polygraphs and two of them were judged as being deceitful when denying any involvement in baggage switching. However, neither the U.S., UK or German investigators showed any interest in the results, or in questioning the baggage handlers. Instead, the polygrapher, James Keefe, was hauled before a Washington grand jury, and, as he puts it, "They were bent on destroying my credibility -- not theirs" [the baggage handlers]. To Interfor, the lack of interest in the polygraph results and the attempt at intimidation of Keefe was the strongest evidence of a cover-up by the various government authorities who did not want their permissive role in the baggage switching to be revealed. http://killinghope.org/bblum6/panam.htmDavid Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856149779154737946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-84550320214064120752013-12-10T12:04:56.777+00:002013-12-10T12:04:56.777+00:00FBI polygraphers know wrong, then.

(google translation, german/english):<br />Intentional right delay in Switzerland and Scotland.<br /><br />Why are the Scottish Parliament and all responsible Institutions afraid of the result after a forensic investigation of the decisive piece of evidence of the MST-13 timer fragment(PT-35)? <br /><br />MEBO believes, because certain Official insiders know exactly what had happened 25 years ago and that the uncovering evidence of fraud against Libya and Abdelbaset al Megrahi would cause not only a financial but also a political earthquake.<br /><br />Before the verdict against Abdelbaset al Megrahi and Libya not is revised , not another Government can be included in the Pan Am 103 investigation...<br /><br />Abdelbaset Al Megrahi and Libya have nothing to do with the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie.
