This article talks about it all. (I couldn't click on whatever was on the original post). So basically because he 'failed' a polygraph they took his job? Polygraphs are such bullshit anyway. There are so many things that can influence it and if he already had a situation that the DoD knew about, that shouldn't have affected him getting fired. Plus it seems he's the only person this rare national security clause has been used on...really? I processed clearances and I've seen some of the things people put down and they STILL get a clearance. Something doesn't sound right and if he is such a "national security" risk why would his wife still have her clearance, access and job? They live together. You would think they'd be suspicious of her "working" with him...right? Sometimes I wonder about government agencies.
