Captured Saddam Hussein loyalists in Iraq are proving adept at beating lie-detector tests, frustrating attempts to find banned weapons and to learn what happened to Navy Capt. Michael Scott Speicher.

The scientists are passing lie detector tests about WMD yet this incompetent administration claims that they are lying and get this "fooling the lie detector test".
Apparently you're not too adept at reading. They have caught them in blatant known lies while the machine showed otherwise.
In one incident, an Iraqi involved in a weapons program was shown two pictures. In one, officials cut his image out of a photo of workers at a weapons factory. He agreed that the cut-out image was of him. They then showed him the full photo, with his image restored. This time, he denied that he was in the photo. The polygraph did not catch him in this blatant lie.
And where do you get "yet this incompetent administration claims that they are lying and get this fooling the lie detector test" from out of the article. The article refers to US and military officials and the CIA. Nowhere does it refer to officials from the White House.
Sometimes one needs to put a lie detector to your posts just to weed out the biased crap.
In any case, in reference to the article, it's an interesting development making it that much tougher to determine what, if any, weapons or weapons programs the Iraqis had. I, for one, don't think they had much, if any real weapons. But I'm not at all convinced that Saddam didn't have his programs in mothballs until the heat was lifted and clear skies returned.
