It’s been 16 years since Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harrassment. In the interviews promoting his book and her response interview (on GMA) http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3678152&page=1 and editorial in the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/02/opinion/02hill.html I learned something I had not heard previously. In the midst of the accusations 16 years ago, she took and passed a lie detector test; Clarence Thomas declined to take the same test.
Did/do you believe her accusations? Why? Why not?

I remember thinking at the time that he probably did say some off color and inappropriate things that he assumed he could get away with,but I don't think anyone could have said things that could of warranted the media coverage that it got....
my opinion was back then that she just had a serious dislike for the guy and played her first available hand.

Agreed - it's more than likely that he made some 'inappropriate remarks' at some point, but I can't see that denying him a spot on the SC.
When I listened to her testimony, though, she seemed a bit hesitant from time-to-time.
