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 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."

I HAVE read your books ... I KNOW what you believe ... that is WHY I come to the conclusions I come to.

Roger. Thought that applied to info on fellow FR members, not suspected terrorists. Thanks.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

The fact that this creep accuses Eunice of lying (when it is clear she is not), makes him that much more suspicious and dangerous in my opinion. He could say instead that she misunderstood or misheard them, but it is clear not only that HE is the liar, but that these guys are using our constitution and laws as weapons against us, just as the al qaida (sp?) handbook teaches

[WaterDragon]

Probably playing a joke on the woman. Real sickos, these three. I certainly would NOT go to them for medical care. Who's paying for their training, anyway?

[Neets]

Now how did that happen?? I thought you had immunity?

[CharacterCounts]

How does your statement contradict my statement? It supports it. The police are backing off of the hoax theory.

I think we all know where this is heading.....if these *jokers* don't already have a lawyer, look for it in the next couple of days....
I smell a racial profiling lawsuit coming....it amounts to *they said, they said*....too bad no one else overheard this to confirm Euince's story.

We need to stand by Eunice, she may have been had, but she sincerly believed what she was hearing....I know I would do the same as Eunice.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well, I am an Admin Moderator and thought it only fair to warn myself that I can get suspended or banned.

[CharacterCounts]

Wait just a minute. Yesterday, their story was that they were "angry at being stared at” and decided to scare the woman. Now we’re supposed to believe that it never happened? Right!

That wasn't there story. That's what the media was reporting without so much as a statement from them. It was hearsay.

[Kozak]

And where are the 4 male witnesses needed to back up her claims

You have to double it because she's not a mooslim

[RogueIsland]

Cripes, it reads like a "Retief" novel...

{Waves gloob blaster at humans} "Vile Terry! How dare you impugn the selfless, peace loving Groaci! We demand reparations at once!"

Except that Retief would have landed a nice solid straight-fingered jab at the nerve cluster of the nearest thug, knotted up his eye-stalks, and gone on to coolly smoke a dope stick. Unfortunately, no one is going to be doing that to these guys.

I got my GOP Shill check yesterday, am thinking of buying a new car today. How about you?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Bought mine last week.

[FR_addict]

The more I think about this incident, the madder I get. They threatened to cause violence on 9/13. This was terrorism through and through.

terrorism

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Homeland Security failed. These guys were not arrested.

Please call the White House and Congress if you agree.

[At this point all I can say is this is becomming a hell of a lot more interesting.]

One thought - if everyone comes down on Mrs. Stone (leaving out credibility on either side) How many of you if you overheard something would come forward after seeing what could happen to you?

Spent a sleepless night pondering this one.

[mystery-ak]

Fox just reported that Larkin Hosp. said *thanks, but no thanks* to these three jokers....they have received hate e-mails and phone calls re these three.......lawsuit coming, I have no doubt now.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

They were released; it does not mean they will not be tried (Collier Sheriff said so). Read the articles and comments. It is all in there. Or was your point just to trash Bush's Admin? Thanks.

[Neets]

I watched these three jokers on CNN last night....their script was well rehearsed...even down to the part where they saw the toll-taker with money in her hand, the gratuitous comment about the toll-taker not speaking english very well.

I can't tell you how many tollbooths i've passed through on the eastcost where toll-takers have money in their hands waiting to give change so as to not back up the lines any further.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

What would happen if you yelled "bomob" on a airplane? These guys will be tried, from what I read, possibly for making a terrorist threat.

[Miss Marple]

This whole thing is fishy to me. I do not understand a lot about this case, but I am HIGHLY suspicious of these 3 guys.
