...counts of rape to the charge of abusing his office. Ironically, the investigation began after Katsav himself had approached Mazuz claiming a female aide was blackmailing him with threats to go public with accusations of sexual harassment. Katsav wanted the aide's conduct investigated and called her a liar, a strategy that backfired when several more women came forward with similar allegations. Danino's team reportedly heard testimony from ten women, and recommended that charges be filed in five of their cases, while maintaining that the other five further indicate a pattern of habitual sexual misconduct.

That is what No Lie MRI and Cephos claim they can do, with an accuracy...

In the post-9/11 world, where anyone with a boarding pass and a piece of carry-on is a potential menace, the need is greater than ever for law enforcement's most elusive dream: a simple technique that can expose a liar as dependably as a blood test can identify DNA or a Breathalyzer can nail a drunk. Quietly over the past five years, Department of Defense agencies and the Department of Homeland Security have dramatically stepped up the hunt. Though the exact figures are concealed in the classified "black budget," tens...
