BobCN- You are spot on with the body language observations. Like Jeff, I have spent a lifetime cross-examining witnesses in criminal cases and the body language signs of falsified testimony were there.
Also, polygraph test results are inadmissible in many states (mine included), but may be admitted if both sides stipulate to its admission. My experiences have been that if the examiner is independent and truly impartial and well-trained, the results are very accurate, so much depends on the examiner. When Clemens replied to the question of whether he would be willing to submit to a polygraph test, I agree with a previous poster, he should have said (he was under no obligation) "hell yes, as long as we can use an examiner who is well-trained, experienced and impartial, and if so, it will prove I am telling the truth."
If Pettite had not admitted the trainer was corect, that he was injected twice with HGH as claimed, Clemens believability would be higher, IMHO.
