Body language. How can you tell someone’s lying?

Well off course the hand goes over the mouth. Or some such gesture.

Was just watching * in the O’Reilly interview . When O’Reilly asks him:
“Do you think you got any preferential treatment getting into the Air Guard during Vietnam?”

* does all the classic things that indicate a lie when he answers this one!!!

WHAHAAHAHAHAH IT WAS SO OBVIOUS

Anybody else saw this?

And before anyone asks why I’m watching fox. We don’t get much else out here in England (Rupert Murdoch TV is just about all we get)

5. Some other things...

Watch the eyes. If the person doesn't make eye contact, he or she may be lying.

Watch the face. I saw a fascinating item on the Discovery Channel about a study that showed that liars' faces often show expressions that are completely opposite from what they are saying (looking terrified when they say they are confident). It's very subtle.

Of course, I can see it in Dubya every time he speaks. :-)
