Two-Part Investigative Series: Military 'Turf War' Places Americans at Increased Risk

In a recently-published two-part investigative series, a former Air Force officer reveals the inside story about a "turf war" being waged by bureaucrats within the Department of Defense over the use of portable lie detection technology during interrogations of enemy combatants, terror suspects and others on and off the battlefield.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recently-published two-part investigative series, former Air Force officer Bob McCarty reveals the inside story about a "turf war" being waged by bureaucrats within the Department of Defense. The war, in this case, revolves around the military's use of portable lie detection technology during interrogations of enemy combatants, terror suspects and others on and off the battlefield.

In Part One, McCarty explains how questions about the use of waterboarding and other forms of torture during interrogations of enemy combatants and terror suspects might be largely irrelevant today if not for a memo signed by Under Secretary of Defense James R. Clapper Jr. Oct. 29, 2007. That memo granted "Operational Approval of the Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System" and designated the polygraph and its newer portable cousin, PCASS, the "only approved credibility assessment technologies" in the Department of Defense.

In Part Two, McCarty offers a dozen solid pieces of evidence from individuals and agencies inside and outside of DoD that make a solid argument in support of a more accurate and versatile technology -- Computer Voice Stress Analyzer(R) -- that realized unprecedented success when used by the U.S. military from 2002 to 2008. Furthermore, he reveals how Americans on the front lines of the War on Terror -- including active-duty members of the Special Operations community, senior interrogation officials at Guantanamo Bay and others -- believe the actions of leaders within DoD are "doing great damage to our national security" by keeping the best equipment available from the war fighters who need it the most in places like Afghanistan, Iraq and GITMO.
