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.

That one I am paranoid about too.

We rented homes in a series of suburbs when we were first married. Just our luck,... streets were torn up and sewers were laid in each suburb. (Cesspools had been in use for years in each area). I began to feel like a nut, because I would smell gas as I walked the kids to school, for example. Each time the gas company found a leak.

BTW, one of the houses we lived in was about 300 years old and had a leak near the meter in the cellar. The gas man put a soap solution where it seemed the leak was, in order to have the bubbles that formed show exactly where the leak was.

"bomob"? what the heck is "bomob" Oh, just grate!

blastbaby, I didn't mean to question you per se', was throwing out a hypothetical question. I meant to be agreeing with your post, I just wasn't very clear, sorry...

bomob?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Someone set us up the bomob.

Yesterday it was reported these guys went to a medical school in the Caribbean...has that story been changed too? Caribbean med schools accept ANYONE, so don't overestimate their intelligence ;-)

[Kaslin]

I just heard the medical school booted them out

I salute the woman who alerted the authorities. I believe her. We're at war, and the rules of engagement have changed. If these ragheads don't feel safe here, then return to the motherland. You go now!

I have enough infromation to know he is lying.

I heard Eunice Stone herself decribe what she observed. She was completely credible. There were ample opportunities for her to exaggerate or gild the lily, and she didn't.

[SarahW]

If true, that's good news.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

That sister made me furious. She right away started in on how "we are a peaceful people who love God [blablabla islam rhetoric], my brother would never [blast through a] tollbooth without paying" then immediately said "hundreds of people [blast through] tollbooths so you should go after them too". she is a defiant islamic hack. i worry about how much my dislike of them is growing.

If the cops first say that they thought it was a prank and then later say perhaps it's too soon to tell for sure if it was a prank, how is that a lie?

[Terriergal]

My thoughts exactly.

[mystery-ak]

It's true...see my post above....reported earlier on Fox.

One small bit of proof Eunice is not lying.....She stated several times yesterday that the jokers were at a party earlier this week in Chicago.....lo and behold, two of them are from Chicago.....so how would Eunice know that?

[linn37]

I really hope thats true because I don't want to work in any hospital with those freaks.

If she had meant to harm them, she would have spread the word that they had been engaged in a conspiracy that killed Dale Ernhardt. [Hold mah beer!]

I guess none of us should be surprised that these 3 lowlifes (and their many supporters) are trying to turn this around and place the blame on Mrs. Stone. It's disheartening though. I guess we'll soon be able to contribute to the Eunice Stone Defense Fund.

Has anyone mentioned the possibility of her taking a polygraph? And her son? I'm sure the Stones would take one a lot more readily than those 3 jerks would.

About the only two I can stand to watch on television are Prince Bandar and the Saudi Government spokesman, whose name I cannot remember. I am not saying I necessarily trust them, but at least they are fairly normal sounding.

Everyone else is either obsequious and oily OR ravingly psychotic and arrogant.

It must be a cultural thing that I just don't get, but it is seriously getting me angry, the more I see.

[AppyPappy]

She said " This happened in the South and we know the reputation the South has for racism."

Correct me ifn I's wrong but the people who slammed them planes into them buildings weren't from the South. They was MUSLIMS!!

[Amore]

I'm with y'all.

(oh, wait, I just said "y'all" -- discount what I said, I'm obviously just a Southern bigot)

[EllaMinnow]

Can we pull Georgia and Florida together and file a class-action suit against Miss Muslim Sister?

I feel defamed.
