That itself should tell you that some kind of disconnect with reality is
taking place. What you're saying is close enough to what I heard 20 years
ago that I'm wondering if there hasn't simply been a shift in technique.

Funny you should mention that... I perhaps got the idea for the "Truth
Machine" from my 2nd hand info on Scientology. In the late '70's, when the
voice stress response stuff first broke surface, it occured to me that one
could found a real profit making revolutionary movement on a real "Truth
Machine." I even approached a number of high-tech companies about
developing a product. By the time I met Halperin and laid out the plot for
the novel to him, I had given up on the idea, as I ran into too much NIH.
