[Intelforum] Accused FBI/White House Spy Passed FBI Polygraph

[George W. Maschke]

Before hiring, accused FBI/White House spy Leandro Aragoncillo would 
have been required to pass a pre-employment polygraph examination that 
includes the following questions: 1) Do you know anyone who is engaged 
in espionage or sabotage against the United States? 2) Have you 
intentionally mishandled any classified information? 3) Have you had any 
unauthorized foreign contacts?

Presumably, Aragoncillo passed while answering these questions 
deceptively. His polygraph results would also have been subject to 
"quality control" by the FBI HQ polygraph unit, so this cannot be 
written off as the simple failure of a single polygraph operator. 
Rather, it is the failure of a pseudoscientific procedure that the 
National Academy of Sciences found to be completely invalid.
