http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/08/16/199590/seeing-threats-feds-target-instructors.html#.Ug7dMZIp82M errr what?... "The federal government previously treated such instructors only as nuisances, partly because the polygraph-beating techniques are unproven." kinda like a polygraph? "Citing the scientific skepticism, one attorney compared the prosecution of polygraph instructors to indicting someone for practicing voodoo. "If someone stabs a voodoo doll in the heart with a pin and the victim they intended to kill drops dead of a heart attack, are they guilty of murder?” asked Gene Iredale, a California attorney who often represents federal defendants. "What if the person who dropped dead believed in voodoo? "These are the types of questions that are generally debated in law school, not inside a courtroom. The real question should be: Does the federal government want to use its resources to pursue this kind of case? I would argue it does not.” howto.. :) |
