Bullsh*t Inc? West Palm Firm Pursuing Monopoly on the Truth

• Joey Boy's cranky comment deserves some analysis. 1) Why resort to using an insulting form of the author's name while trying to dignify James Chapman by referring to "Professor Chapman"? By your standards, shouldn't Chapman, who is a former community college instructor, be called "Jimmy Boy"? 2) Take a look at recent research at the University of Florida and the University of Oklahoma, which both show results at chance levels. NITV participated in the University of Florda study, so it's a bit awkward to criticize the results. You'll find the Florida and Oklahoma results at: http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/jharns/Research%20Projects/UF_Report_03_17_2006.pdf http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/journals/259/voice-stress-analysis.htm 3) Claiming a 30-year conspiracy against voice stress analysis is the dumbest argument yet. If it worked, polygraph examiners would have added it to their bag of tricks years ago and the Defense Department wouldn't have banned its use.

• Hey Tommy Boy, Professor James Chapman, SUNY, completed a 19-year study on CVSA technology he says conclusively demonstrates its accuracy above 95 percent. The study is published - why don't you spend a weekend dissecting it to find out and write a real story? Why don't you interview someone who actually knows something about this subject? The fact your article is a second-rate hit piece is obvious. You have no facts to support what you state and only used the material of some other sophomoric reporter as the basis for "your" article. Straighten up Tommy Boy - and learn to become a real cub reporter. The rehashing of someone else's work is something any novice can do. Have you actually read Mitchell Sommers oh-so-important report you cited in your "article"??? It is about an old Israeli technology that is unrelated to the CVSA and 3 of the 4 authors were from the US Government's Polygraph Institute. Want a real story - why don't you look into the conflict of interest and government conspiracy there? Follow the money Tommy Boy (if you know how).... Professor Chapman's and the collective opinions of the police hold more weight than your attempt to manufacture a controversy. Are you upset someone is running a successful business in your backyard, while you are reduced to being a cub reporter? Man - - - get a life... As far as calling some plice departments that use it, as you state you want to do so badly, I found this on the CVSA's website http://www.cvsa1.com/realcases.htm. Please get off your duff and do some real reporting by checking your facts. I would bet these police would love to talk with a well respected reporter like you Tommy Boy.
