Ted Haggard's accuser failed a polygraph test early this morning about the truthfulness of his accusations that he had had a three-year homosexual affair with the influential Colorado Springs minister.
The test was given to Michael Jones, 49, an admitted male prostitute, who made the allegations on the Peter Boyles Show on radio station KHOW Thursday morning.
The shocking allegations were denied by Haggard, who told KUSA-9News he never took part in a homosexual affair and had always been faithful to his wife, with whom he has 5 children.
So Boyles invited Jones to take a polygraph test at 5 a.m. this morning.
The test administrator, John Kresnik, said Jones' score indicated "deceptions" in his answers. However, Kresnik said he doubted the accuracy of the test he administered because of the recent stress on Jones and his inability to eat or sleep, according to KHOW producer Greg Hollenback.
Kresnik suggested that Jones be re-tested early next week after he was rested.
The accuser can lie about everything and it will amount to nothing one way or the other for him since it is for swaying the elections next week and paving the way to '08.
Because Boyles' radio show airs from 5-9 AM.
Did you ask "How reliable is the poly" and get the stock answer, "I've never had one fail me"?
I heard a portion of a tape this AM that Ted was buying meth from the guy. I wonder if that's what he confessed to and the sex didn't happen but the hooker guy spiced up the story for the gay marriage amendments.
Just a theory
No coaching necessary, all he has to do is take a beta blocker and he's done.
I wonder if that's what he confessed to and the sex didn't happen but the hooker guy spiced up the story for the gay marriage amendments. Just a theoryI've seen several people post the same theory, and I have to say I don't really understand this - or maybe I should and wish I didn't. If he had sex with the guy, he betrayed his wife and children and was a terrible hypocrite - all very bad. But if he bought the meth, which many posters seem to prefer, he broke the law.
If that is the case,he should 'fess up quickly and Bob Dole should hang his head in shame. As should all the other old goats who are trying so hard to be cool or hard,or whatever the case may be. Yuk!!!
It's impossible to say at this point what he confessed to, but Jones basically said he was having gay sex and using drugs.
I was thinking this morning after reading about his "partial confession"...what if the drug part is true but the rest isn't? I've seen the communications between him & Jones and to me, it looks like a drug converstation. Maybe the gay sex part was designed to destroy his credibility in regards to the gay marriage issue, which is up for a vote next week.
Just rambling here...but the fact that he registered as untruthful regarding parts of the polygraph make me wonder which parts were true (drugs?) and which weren't (sex?).
" Quite a number of employers, either for security or financial concerns, continue to use it. That would not be the case if it was very unreliable. The CIA and the FBI continue to use it."
While it may not be admissable in court, prosecutors often use polygraphs to gauge the veracity of a witness .
They consider it a more reliable tool than not.
oh, believe me, I'm not excusing what has happened and I don't think the head of NEA (or whatever it is) should be doing meth! I'm just pointing out that that "could" be why they are saying he confessed to a portion of the accusations, not all.
In my mind, it could be a likely scenario that the gay community would make up that one is having sex with the guy that spearheaded the anti gay marriage movement in 04 to get their point across.
Meth is VERY prevalent in the gay community as well. Perhaps that was just the contact he had.
But again, meth is THEE most addictive drug out there, by far. The guy doesn't need to be leading a double life. He needs to get out of the leadership position and get his act together.
If they have been working with this homosexual druggie for months, why didn't they give him a lie detector test before publishing his story.
People need to remember, the reason polygraph results aren't admissible in court is because they don't "measure" the "truth"...they measure bodily reactions. The body's reactions change under the stress of media attention, etc, and so the test results change. False results happen far more often than most lay people realize: a lot of otherwise fine applicants for positions as FBI special agents get dinged because they get nervous during the polygraph exam even though they haven't done anything illegal. Even the Bureau recognizes that this has become a problem.
David Limbaugh's book about war on christianity is right on.....
They work well on the truthful, who have deep misgivings when they lie. But they don't work at all on pathological liars, who feel no compunction when they lie.
Kresnik suggested that Jones be re-tested early next week after he was rested.
Like on Tues evening at 8 PM after the polls have closed.
