The NPR show "Weekend Edition Saturday" had a story this morning about the new lie detectors that the DoD plans to deploy in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Scott Simon interviews Donald Krapohl, who is "special assistant to the director at the Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment at Fort Jackson in South Carolina."

I'm sure Mr. Krapohl is just doing his job, but unfortunately his job today was to gloss over the serious problems with these lie detectors and the plans the DoD has for them.  But I could wish Mr. Simon was doing his job a bit better, as I complain about after the jump.
