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."

Pick up books and read about other people? That's what we're doing, buddy boy. Learning a lot.

What caused the bomb sniffing dogs to go on alert? Nobody has explained this as far as I know. Could they have made a delivery before they blew through the toll booth?

Yes the cops did say that...but now the cops are changing their story. Were the cops just trying to save their own asses or what? Weird...but whatever I am not surprised. These are the same people that can't figure out how to vote properly ;)

"I made it clear to them that I would prefer them not to search my car. Maybe that's what they assumed as not cooperative, and I take that as my prerogative because I know there is nothing in my car," he said.

Ya know guys, I can't fault em for that. That's what I would do/say. When you're in a country based on individual freedom, then by definition every individual must get the benefit of the doubt.

I think I will withhold further judgement for more information.

Are you for real ?

I think so.

Look, I'm not trying to defend these guys. I am just saying there is more to the story. Cops don't back off of a case like that without a very compelling reason.

When you joke around you shouldn't blow through toll boths and have other people's plates on your car.

What's with the stolen plates that were reported. The above says the cars were released and they DROVE away!

THIS IS HOT:

Go here: "Young Muslims in pursuit of Allahs pleasure"

Look at the names on the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors (Shura):
Ahmer Ali
Al-Mahmud Ali
Junaid Mirza
Moeed Ahmed
Omer Choudhary
.

This whole thing either smells of a setup, or the lady is right and they are involved.

So now they've changed their story. There was a couple of reoirts today that stated that the men claimed that they were just joking. Now the story is that they didn't joke at all, that they didn't say anything, that the lady made it all up.

The plates were not stolen. Again the police came back later and said they were all clear. The earlier reports were wrong.

What does that have to do with this incident?

Nothing. It looks like just another way to say, "Look for the root cause."

Sorry they did not change their story. Did you ever hear them say this? Nope..the media said this and they were only repeating what the POLICE said. Now the police have changed their story...apparently the guys never did joke about it. Again...pathetic if this is true. The police need to get their act together before reporting stuff like this...pretty sad. If these guys never did say anything...they are ruined either way. And why? Because the police messed up...I mean how can you mess that up. Sounds like the police lied.

Maybe they don't and maybe the do. If they couldn't find any physical proof, after 16 hours of interrigation, what could they hold them on ? This nation is governed by laws ; unlike many other nations.

You certainly DO " come off " as sounding like their defender. That's why you're being jumped on.

They kept them there for 16 hours, blew up there back pack. They aren't concerned about political correctness and cops don't back off of a case in this manner just to be politically correct.

Something else happened. I would be very interested to hear from the cops exactly what they know.

From what I've heard, these men were NOT cooperative with the police. All they had to say was that they were joking, but they didn't. I do believe the woman's son also heard the remarks, I hope others at the restaurant can come forward and verify the woman's account.

"No apparently that is what the POLICE wanted you to think. Apparently now the police are changing their story. No excuse for that...pathetic."

The swarthy ones are the liars but, you know that, huh?

Quote "From what I've heard, these men were NOT cooperative with the police."

One of the men said they told the police that no they did not want their car searched. Sorry but if that is not being cooperative then arrest us all. I would not agree to that either. Why would you? If you have nothing to hide? Let's not go there...

Lets see, Eunice Stone took the time to write down the license plate and description of two cars and three men. She also knew about the trip to Miami. Plus she called the police. In her news interviews she is calm and does not make derogatory remarks. But she is lying?

Now we have the three men, in two cars, which drive through a tollbooth without paying and when stopped by police, give the police a difficult time. The three men are held separately, but none assist the police with clearing up any questions. After release, the three men claim Eunice Stone is lying and racist.

Whom to believe, whom to believe?
