Anthrax
Suspect Did Not Fail Polygraph Tests
Hatfill,
who had not been consulted about the New York Times
exclusive, and denied the right to reply in a letter
to the editor, threatened a libel suit. "This is a total
lie," Hatfill explained at a press conference "I have
not taken, let alone failed, three polygraphs on Anthrax
since January. I had one polygraph session which the
FBI did administer to me in January, and I was told
I passed, and the examiner was satisfied that I had
told the truth. Mr. Kristof never called me about this
allegation, nor did he call my attorney."
Although
the Times did not report Hatfill's explanation, or issue
a correction, it did not publish again the charge that
he had failed polygraph tests.
