Lie Test: Bush 57, Gore 23: A portable polygraph meant for consumer use, claiming around 80% accurate detection of lies, was used by Time magazine reporters during the three Presidential debates. The Handy Truster, based on voice analysis technology originally developed for the Israeli military, said that Bush told 57 lies and Gore 23 during the three debates. Its manufacturers ‘…recommend using the product only as
a “decision-support tool” and strongly suggest that people use their common sense in
analyzing the results.’ [But if common sense were at play in the Presidential election process, we wouldn’t need a decision-support toll in the first place, right?] Wired
