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.

The media were not the only ones making statements this morning. Mrs. Stone and the police spoke directly this morning. Everyone knows that as these things play out details emerge that sometimes can change the complexion of some situations. In this case, there has been nothing that has come out to cast any doubt on the credibility of Mrs. Stone.

I wouldn't want you on a jury either. " OPEN MIND " ? Oh yeah ... far and away too " open ". Yours appears to be a tad closed.

They were running to the media dropping info all day long. Most of the info was false.

Even I can tell that the dogs are purely a prop - None! Dogs find as much as they miss. So, they're more than just a prop.

Is there no way for you to modify a post (leaving just a cut and paste link in place of the active link, for example), rather than zapping it altogether?
RedBloodedAmerican's research turned up something quite interesting about one of the three "medical students" which might help someone put the puzzle pieces together. Was there information of a personal nature there beyond the e-mail address? I just took a quick glimpse before reading forward and then *poof* - gone.
What was on the www.youngmuslims.ca website that warranted killing the post? Just curious.

When blue-haired grandmas from Iowa can be detained at an airport for joking about airplane hassles, then three arab terrorists "making jokes" at a diner in Georgia should be held at Gitmo until further notice.
These people are mad dogs, and deserve to be treated as such. No more pearl Harbors, no more WTC's.

I don't recall directing any post to you about that Your post #129 was in reply to me. You said the police were not LYING. (you added the emphasis)
To: LO_IQ
"What if it had happened to you or your husband or your child? I know that appearances can be deceiving. For example, I have a German last name, and most people assume that I'm Jewish. Therefore, I have had heard many nasty comments about me for "being Jewish" even though I'm a Christian. Next time there is a mass hysteria about Jews drinking children's blood, I will probably be the first one to loaded into the cruiser. Then the cops will leak the story about having blood in my car, until the DNA tests reveal that it is my own blood from a minor cut"
I truly feel sorry if you've been hurt by thoughtless people. But - please don't follow their example by doing the same thing to police officers.
Most of them are like us. They are good American family people just trying to do a job under very difficult circumstances.
At least give them the benefit of a doubt. They have kids and families that could be killed by terrorists too.
If you are ever in trouble - I hope you will meet one of the finest that serve us so well.

What if it had happened to you or your husband or your child? I'd tell them not to talk loudly about plots in restaurants when at least two people are there to overhear them.

No, we cannot edit posts.

Great point! I have flown several times since 9.11, had my chest wanded, my shoes checked each and every time, and I"ve had my bags searched a couple of times. I spend a lot of time getting the airport two hours or more early. And I'm just a short Utah lady!

I'm very saddened by today's episode.
Most police officers do not leak unconfirmed information to the media in such a reckless manner.
I would like to know who was the "Law Enforcement Sources" who tarnished the trust we placed on our uniformed officers.

""What happened to the stolen-license plate story leaked to the media by "Law Enforcement Sources"?"
The above quote was made by you and I did emphasize that the police were NOT lying..and I explained why.

I didn't hear this story, until after the earlier, now disproven " facts ". I saw Eunice on T.V., and I've seen what you've written. Perhaps you don't realize that the way you've been posting , makes you look like a PC Dem ; however, it certainly does.
Why am I so ready to believe that those three guys are guilty of something ? oh, maybe it's because they're Muslims, look the part of OBL sympathizers, I lost people I knew, on 9/11/01, and I doubt that Eunice Smith did this for publicity. I would have called the police too, only to have people like you, doubt me.
Of course you don't care about my Danish story ; it makes far too much sense ( in showing you up ) , is factually and historically true ( I notice that you chose to ignore the Japanese camp story. ), and allows you to imagine that you are superior ... oh so open minded and intelligent. What you are, is benumbed, benighted, and unwary. I guess that you've evolved to the point, where the " survival " gene " is missing. Good luck ... you need it !

The Muslim organizations in America are going to attempt to make it so miserable for Ms Stone and the Florida authorities that nobody else will even think of saying 'boo' to a Muslim. Their aim is to make Muslims a privileged victim group in American society.
I agree with you quidnunc (great name BTW). My question is how many more sacrifices do we make upon the altar of Political Correctness before we confront the threats of militant Islam and secure our borders?
Amen. This post bears repeating.

I bet you believe that OJ didn't do it. LOL

I'd tell them not to talk loudly about plots in restaurants I'm having a hard time believing that conversation really happened
It's a "she said, he said" situation, and both players are not completely credible to me
One of the players has the Chucky-Schumer Syndrome, and the other player is trying to save his bum from prosecution.
