The question of the polygraph?

[Mrs. B]

Because some editors thought it was newsworthy?

So the editors made it all up? You mean with mitchell breathing down their backs?getting paid 75 k a year? Pull the other one, otherwise you are very near to sayng mitchell was responsible for all the stories, wouldnt surprise me though, the media black arts are quite horrendous

[Mrs. B]

LOL Nobody said they made it up, they reported a comment made by the McCanns - for some reason, they found it newsworthy.

What was the comment? And why did they make it?

[Mrs. B]

For the third time...

Mr and Mrs McCann, both 39, said last night that they were prepared to take a lie detector test if requested by the Portuguese authorities. “Kate and Gerry are happy to do anything that will help them to clear their names,” a source close to the couple said. “They have said all along that they want to cooperate fully with the Portuguese police, but as of today they have received no such request.”

pathetic response, it was THEM that made it an issue and it backfired doublebarrelled

[Mrs. B]

No, it hasn't backfired on them,they didn't lie & they didn't refuse to take a lie detector test. Apart from the Jeremy Kyle variety, which they never said they would do anyway. Please be aware that a few anonymous nutters screaming online & spreading lies aren't actually important in the real scheme of things.

I don't know why the 'sceptics' even bother to bring up the subject of Polygraphs.  We all know that if the McCanns took one and passed, they'd all be claiming 'it was fixed'.

Of course they would & I'm actually glad that they have chosen to ignore the majority of these mindless fools who think they have a right to conduct trials by internet based on baseless speculation. Bennett of course was the exception & he got what he deserved.

you do refuse to answer questions, where did the story originate if but from mccanns and or mitchell and why did it become such a pathetic  piece, with the lie detedtor getting involved,  simple question, really it is

This was counterproductive, people started to suspect them with a certain reason. They should have firmly denied they had even thought of doing such a test.
In the US parents of missing children ask to be tested to make sure the investigation will concentrate on the child.

You seem to know people better than they do know themselves. Are you Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante ?

Elizabeth Smart's father did and we are told that the McCanns set great store by his advice.
