that was an interesting article, though it seems a bit excessive

The most awful anecdotes were reported by a Palestinian man, allegedly formerly PLO, converted to Christianity, Walid Shoebat. I have no idea whether he's telling the truth, or if anybody else involved in this research is telling the truth.

I long ago gave up feeling like I can tell truth from lies when the speaker is Middle Eastern.

I could expand on that and say that I have pretty much given up on being able to tell truth from lies when the speaker is a stranger, or is on the Internet.

Or maybe just when the speaker's lips are moving.
