Hi Jackie,
Well it is really interesting to read the actual words of these
scientists who are involved in this research. I was never discounting
the value of lie detector tests with respect to their role in the
judicial process as well as security clearances/job application/ et al.
My question was why should we be expected to rely on the results of a
single study based on a amicus curiae brief that showed lie detector
tests to be accurate more than 90% of the time. Certainly there is a lot
of research done in this area and the more we know about and hear from
those doing the research the more we'll be able to assess how lie
detector tests may fit into the overall scheme of things.
You know what would really be interesting? To convince some of your
contacts to spend a week on the law list to answer questions and lend
their expertise to enlighten us. Perhaps you and Kathy could work
something out along these lines. I bet a lot of people would be
interested.
I'll have to go now. That red glare is starting to blind me. :)
Bill
