NAPLES, Florida (CNN) -- The Georgia woman who prompted Friday's terror scare was "flat-out lying" when she told authorities she overheard three Muslim men at a restaurant laughing about September 11 and making suspicious comments, one of the men said late Friday.

I believe her.
Even if they are innocent, they should know better than to act "suspicious".

They're denying it because the joke ended up being on them.

If they do not stand behind this woman, nobody will EVER report anything they see again.
What reason would she have to make this stuff up? Why would she want the press hanging out in front of her house? It's preposterous.
BTW, the one thing I do not see on TV today is the press talking about ALL the mistakes they made. Practically every word they reported was a lie, and not one of them has said one word about it.

There's one thing about the students story that bothers me.
They say the woman was lying. They also say that they paid the tolls (they were in 2 cars) and that the woman in the toll booth was lying as well when she said they didn't pay. This means either they just happened to run into two very big liars in a matter of hours or they are the ones lying. Right?

Is the He said She said senario..
To: vannrox
I believe her too. What would she gain by lying? She did what we all would do (hopefully)had we been in her situation.
Gheith added: "I have one message, I think it's time for us as Americans to put down our big sticks and pick up our books and read about other people and read about what they believe before we jump to conclusions."
Note to middle eastern "pranksters": Americans learned all there is to learn about your people on 9/11. We don't need your f'n books, real or imaginary. You idiots will learn that very shortly.

Does anyone know how old Eunice's son is and if he is willing and/or able to back up her story??
To: vannrox
I believe her too. It only took the hostility of one of the sisters of this trio to convince me of the purpose of the whole prank. It's just to set up the "cry wolf" scenario. Authorities will be afraid to investigate reports. The fear of racism, profiling, the cost to taxpayers, loonies making false reports, publicity seeking idiots will now all figure into any call received. Regardless...I will call given the same kind of circumstances. And by the way, I'm sick of seeing muslim-garbed individuals saying "trust me." on my television.
To: codder too
I believe her son is 18. Old enough to know a threat when he hears one.
And what ever happened with the car's tags? Were they stolen or what?

Well, I see nothing that would have benefited her in telling a lie; I believe her.
I still wonder why these men got their cars back, stopped at the next rest stop, gave a press interview, then left heading toward Miami, but then turned back WEST to go and stay with a man they "met at the rest stop" so they could "get some rest."
I believe the police are watching these guys.
I think they can do whatever they want now; I just heard that the school they were suppose to go to said find somewhere else to go. Good!

I saw on Fox (the rolling headline at the bottom of the screen) that these middle east freekos have been kicked out of their medical school. School said they got hate mail. Can anyone confirm this report?
Hope its true!!
To: Rollee
"Note to middle eastern "pranksters": Americans learned all there is to learn about your people on 9/11."Big bump on that!
To: codder too
Just another thought...Should we be watching Medical students in the same way we should have been watching student Pilots??
To: FryingPan101
Eunice Stone has just admitted she LIED to the authorities about the 3 guys...
My local news out of Las Vegas...
I have not confirmed the facts...Just now heard it..minutes ago...
Someone confirm...

The men were pulled over at 1 a.m. Friday on Alligator Alley, after one of the cars allegedly went through a toll booth without paying. "Allegedly"?
Deport these assholes, fire Mineta, and the next jokester is dropped from a chopper.
To: vannrox
I've said the same thing on a few threads here, and I'll plop it down again: Had these clowns even been accused of saying what they're accused of saying....IN AN AIRPORT...they would not be having a date with Larry King; they'd be with Bubba LeRoy in some South Florida slammer.

Now they are saying that the guy in the second car paid the first car's toll. Did you hear that anywhere? That is a press mistake that they are NOT trying to correct.

That should be news to the toll taker. I thought the toll taker was the one who called the cops.
