Re:���� Polygraph
��������� I am enclosing a proposal agreement outlining the terms which should be acceptable to you.� You may want to address your proposed questions as to their form.
��������� Dr. David Raskin PhD., is, I have been told, the world�s foremost polygraph expert and should therefore be acceptable to you.� You will note he has in effect trained, and directed the RCMP in it�s own polygraph training programs.� His fee is $1,500 US for each test plus expenses as follows:� Return airfare from Alaska, one night hotel and meal expense in Vancouver.� Although I am impecunious at this time, a sponsor has agreed to pay my half.� I trust you will find a way to have the taxpayers pay your half.�
��������� I hope you don�t find a way to excuse yourself.� I am looking forward to a quick response.
Regards,
Rick Ciarniello
Hells Angels, Vancouver

Rick Ciarniello will answer the following questions:
1.
Do you
derive any of your income from criminal activity?
2.
Are
you involved in criminal activity?
Superintendent Don Harrison will answer the following
questions:
1.
Have
you ever lied in the course of your duties as an RCMP officer; except when

Superintendent Harrison, in the Kelowna newspaper, The
Daily Courier, on April 8, 2004 made the following statement:
I would give him (Rick Ciarniello) a public apology if
he was to take a polygraph saying he was not involved in criminal activity and
he does not derive any income from criminal activity.�� �I would stand up in front of the whole world
and do that.�
When Ciarniello does pass, and given Superintendent
Harrison has acknowledged that he will apologize to the �whole world�;
Ciarniello will be satisfied for Don Harrison to stand
on a podium in Kelowna town square at 12:00 noon on Friday, July 2, 2004 to
issue the following apology:
I said, on March 26, in the Kelowna newspaper,
The Daily Courier, I have little doubt that the Hells Angels are involved with
downtown�s drug scene.� �They�re the
worst criminal element in North America.��
�Their stock and trade is drugs, prostitution and extortion.�� �Anything criminal that makes money, they�re
involved in.�� �They own a house on
Ellis.�� They have their fingers in a lot
of business in town here.�� �I�m amazed
that everybody thinks they�re so cute.��
�I watch them at bar (closing time) and people are sitting there
worshipping these guys.�� �These guys are
scumbags.�� I hereby, sincerely and
without reservation apologize.� My
statements were untrue and I apologize to both Mr. Ciarniello and all members
of the Hells Angels that I unfairly defamed by my remarks.� As I promised, I make this apology in front
of the whole world and I do so.
