Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. surprised a lot of people when he told a packed House Intelligence Committee hearing room audience the Muslim Brotherhood is “a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam.” Not me, though. I’m already familiar with his [...]

December 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment

I revisit some of those stories below: MICHAEL BEHENNA 1st Lt. Michael Behenna On July 31, 2008, Army Ranger 1st. Lt. Michael Behenna was charged with the premeditated murder of Ali Mansur, a [...]

Congress Leads Border Patrol Down Wrong Path
December 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments
Less than a week after another Border Patrol agent was killed by Mexican bandits, Congress forwarded to the White House a bill that, within two years of its enactment, will result in Customs and Border Patrol heading down the same misguided path the Department of Defense took in 2007 when it comes to interrogation technology. [...]

Are Polygraph Faithful Waging Cyber Attack?
December 12th, 2010 · No Comments
I can’t prove that any one individual or group in the pro-polygraph community — academia, government, military or other — is behind a sharp increase in the number of spam comments targeting BobMcCarty.com, but the timing of the attacks seems a bit more than coincidental. Soon after publishing a Dec. 1 post in which I [...]

War Stories Prove Voice Stress Technology Works (Update)
December 8th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Yesterday, I published a story, Special Forces Units Ignore Memo, Save Lives, highlighting the fact that members of the Army’s elite Special Forces community chose to ignore a 2007 Department of Defense memo which designated the polygraph and its hand-held cousin, the Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System, as the “only approved credibility assessment technologies” in [...]

Special Forces Units Ignore Memo, Save Lives (Update)
December 7th, 2010 · 11 Comments
By signing a memo Oct. 29, 2007, James R. Clapper Jr. exposed U.S. military personnel to greater-than-necessary danger as they served their country in Afghanistan, Iraq and other hot spots around the world. Then an Under Secretary of Defense and now our nation’s Director of National Intelligence, Clapper designated the polygraph and its hand-held cousin, [...]

Passenger-Friendly Screening Technology Ready (Update)
December 1st, 2010 · 36 Comments
Full-body scans, pat-downs and other procedures wouldn’t be necessary at the nation’s airports if the federal government, including the Transportation Security Administration, would only turn to a safer, touch-free, passenger-friendly technology with nearly four decades of success behind it. Because of its timeliness in relation to current events, I share a slightly-modified version (below the [...]
