Interesting and disturbing news. The two Swedish scientists who published a scientific article on the subject of non reliable lie detectors, and had their article withdrawn by the journals editor after complaints from the producing company, have now received a threat of legal action from the producers (Nemesysco Limited) of these charlatan machines. The company produces no arguments in favour of their product, they simply threaten with lawsuit if they ever go public on the subject again...

Here is a link to a place where the editor withdraws the article, and only leaves the abstract to be read. The original article was "Charlatanry in forensic speech science:: A problem to be taken seriously". It can still be obtained from the authors,Anders Eriksson & Francisco Lacerda. I would very much like to read their original article.
