DOD sought to discredit him. DOD adiminstered lie detector tests on him. and claimed that he was lying. even though he had no discernible motivation to lie. and the information on his map checked out with other sources. Indeed. some reports say that he was threatened with deportation from the United States. where he now lives. if he did not retract his story. There was no reason for him to concoct the story. But it seems to this Senator that. to submit this man to a lie detector test and to threaten him with deportation and that sort of thing is beyond the pale. I hope that these reports are inaccurate. especially since the conduct of the interrogation team was questionable and no native language statement was taken from a witness not thoroughly familiar with English. In my opinion. his testimony should be reexamined by competent experts.
