I spent most of the past four years conducting an exhaustive
investigation of the U.S. government's use of interrogation
technologies, including the polygraph. You'll be amazed at what I
discovered. My journey began in April 2009 when I asked Pentagon
officials to answer a handful of questions about a new portable
polygraph device that had been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq one
year earlier. While waiting for them to respond, I sought answers
elsewhere and found plenty - in locations all around the world.
Most importantly, I found evidence of an unconventional war - a
"turf war" - that's been raging silently for 40 years, shows no
signs of easing, and impacts Americans around the world. In my
latest nonfiction book, THE CLAPPER MEMO, I share
never-before-published details from the front lines of this turf
war: I expose the win-at-all-cost strategy employed by polygraph
loyalists to discredit all challengers to their technology's status
as the U.S. Government's credibility assessment tool of choice; I
reveal the lengths to which high-ranking polygraph loyalists inside
the Departments of Defense and Justicehave shown they are willing
to go to maintain their foothold in the credibility assessment
arena when challenged by backers of a newer credibility assessment
tool proven more reliable and more effective than polygraph; I
highlight conflicts of interest and ethical lapses on the part of
senior government officials and expose revealing communications
between individuals on both ends of lucrative government research
grants that yielded pro-polygraph results; I share how law
enforcement officers across the United States describe their
success using non-polygraph technology as an investigative tool
during both routine and high-profile criminal investigations; and I
offer detailed firsthand accounts obtained during exclusive
interviews with Americans who used non-polygraph technology to
interrogate enemy combatants, detainees, and criminal suspects in
places like Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Mexico and Iraq. Four
years after posing my initial set of questions to DoD, I stand
convinced that polygraph loyalists' blind loyalty to their
century-old technology results not only in Americans in this
country being falsely implicated and/or convicted of crimes they
did not commit, but it places Americans who wear the uniforms of
their country in war zones around the world at
higher-than-necessary risk of becoming casualties. Perhaps most
important among my findings are the connections I made between
three memos - including one issued by James R. Clapper Jr., now the
nation's top intelligence official - and hundreds of American
casualties resulting from "Green-on-Blue" (a.k.a., "Insider")
attacks waged by so-called Afghan "allies" wearing the uniforms of
their nation's military, police and security forces. By the time
you finish reading THE CLAPPER MEMO, you'll understand how, if not
for the polygraph-only stance of high-ranking DoD officials,
hundreds of American and coalition warfighters might have avoided
being killed or wounded in Afghanistan. See who agrees with me:
"Clearly an unconscionable cover-up," -- Capt. Larry W. Bailey,
U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.), former commander of the U.S. Navy SEALs
Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALs Training Program (a.k.a.,
"B.U.D./S."). "Bob McCarty has uncovered a high-tech 'turf war'
pitting those who want the best for our troops against others who
seem to be focused on their own self-interests," said Maj. Gen.
Paul Vallely, U.S. Army (Ret.), former deputy commander of U.S.
Army Pacific. "I highly recommend THE CLAPPER MEMO." "Perhaps the
most thorough investigative reporting I have encountered in years.
I direct the attention of the so-called major media to it. This is
how it's done " -- David P. Schippers, Chief Investigative Counsel,
Clinton Impeachment Hearings, U.S. House of Representatives. To see
