Coming soon! Pocket Lie Detectors --Pentagon issues them in Iraq .....
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Pentagon_issues_pocket_lie_detector_to_0409.html

How long before local law enforcement and employers will be using this one?

And the kicker is --they DON"T WORK!!!!!

Nevertheless, I am sure that won't stop them from using them to arrest and fire people.

2. The point is... it does not matter if it works or not, they use it to support their actions...
We are speeding full steam ahead to total public surveillance in this country, and the control of the masses that comes with it.

4. The ones that fill an average closet don't work, either
Nor are their results accepted by any court in the land.

Why would someone think this was a good idea?

6. LOL - just another good 'plan' by our "fearless leaders in Barney Fifedumb"
Gee, back in the "old days" this would just be ripe/plumb pickings for a SNL skit!

11. If the Iraqi speaks no English, How can it tell if he is lying? Hmmm....
That is the magic of this device! It is multilingual in determining who is lying!!

13. "Please hold these loose wires while we hook up the car battery. There...let's begin..."
When using this model don't forget to ask the question first before applying the 'truth telling assistance mode' of this device. (It works better that way!).
