What they won’t say is that it has nothing to do with any specific body language. You know how some people talk with their hands?
Well everyone has little things like that. In poker they call it a “tell” but that’s still inaccurate compared to what interrogaters are really doing.
They can’t actually tell if anyone bullshits or not. They have facts about the case, or in the CIA example they have intelligence. They use lie detectors and what not to create anxiety in the victim suspect/asset. When someone is in sufficient fear, they will let information slip because the brain literally loses control over itself. Too much fear, like in torture, and the brain will force the person to choose whatever answer it feels like will result in self preservation.
People brag about the times they were right, or the times they believe they were right. They won’t mention the times when they were wrong, or will just convince themselves they were right about something. If they brag to the right people, they can make a living out of it.
