The official emphasized that the exams "are always voluntary." Lie-detector tests are a standard element of FBI investigations and are meant to eliminate people from suspicion. The Washington Post reported in Friday editions that nearly all 37 members of the intelligence committees have been questioned and many have been asked to take polygraphs.

| #1 This is hilarious. The FBI let the guy who was forging documents skip the country. They've failed to followup on all sorts of leads in the McVeigh/WTC issue. They've missed opportunities to snatch other bad guys. Not to mention coddling the mob in Boston the last 30 years. And THEY are accusing the congressional committees of leaks? Could someone tell me which group is more incompetent? Regards |
