Default Why don\'t Bush and Kerry take lie detector tests instead of debates

It would be very interesting to see who lies more.

The CIA can train people to beat the test.

Don't you think Bush would avail himself of this training?

So if he passes it is a conspiracy. And if he fails it is only because he wants to because the lie would only be a ruse to throw people off.

Maybe you are right. Sodium Pentathol may be a better method.

"Lie detectors" are unreliable. Ridgeway - the Green River serial killer - pasted his lie detector tests in the 1980's. Numerous other examples abound. The test is not scientific (at the present stage of technology) and the results are ambiguous at best.
