A current AfD, American Polygraph Association, a professional organization for, well, polygraph technicians. The organization itself has been the subject of much international research and scandal because professional polygraph organizations outside of North America disagree with a technique favored by the APA--the organization and this technique have, therefore, been the subject of numerous articles in international psychology and criminalogy journals, not the stuff found on the web. This is old stuff from when I studied witness testimony, not current knowledge, but I was able to find a couple of sources.

The controversy is interesting, especially since it's all in academic journals (which I read by the busload), and there is other information. I think I might see what Elizabeth F. Loftus has to say on the subject, if anything.
Thanks.
