A little known fact: Linda Vester SPEAKS ARABIC!! Hahahah!

I know she speaks Farsi, she probably knows arabic too. She must have thrown them at the beginning of interview when she greeted them with "salaam aleikam" in a perfect (to my ears) accent!

[kcvl]

What did I do NOW?! lol!

[Diddle E. Squat]

So that's it, the interview is over? I take it not much new info came out, other than the lie detector offer?

[Howlin]

I see you! It's almost election time. You MUST post!

[1Old Pro]

How hard would it be to see what party these guys are registered under..??

It's public, the county board of elections where they are registered has that info.

[pettifogger]

Capped One: I was told I didn't have to answer questions, but I told them I would answer any question they asked, ask me anything

Linda: So, the police are lying when they said you were uncooperative?

Lawyer (interrupting): Capped One knew he had rights and did not originally consent to car search. Insisting on rights is uncooperative?

ME: NO, DUMMY that was not the question! -- and Linda did not get a chance to follow up on this -- Capped One claims he agreed to answer any question, the cops reported that they were "uncooperative" Car search was not even mentioned until the lawyer butted in.

It's nice to "see" you again, too, Howlin!!!

I haven't been too active lately - but - I have been lurking quite a bit. I hope to be able to get back into the swing of things again. :))

[who knows what evil?]

I wish to God that FOX would post a transcript of every word Eunice uttered that afternoon, and settle this once and for all.

I would suspect the video recording equipment at the Media Research Center has been rolling non-stop since this incident began, and, at some point, we are going to see a video sequence of contradicting statements that should be interesting, at the very least.

I didn't hear how far they drove, eight miles gives you at least 8 minutes to talk, probably more on a dark road or in traffic, the way the one guy said it, you'd think they were pulled over about 5 feet from the toll booth. I have a hard time understanding their "refusal to search" the car.

I know some on here feel the same way, but if "700" cops pulled me over, and then the bomb squad and dogs and FBI all are there...I think I'd let 'em search....

[Wait4Truth]

Thanks for the ping, Howlin! These three are lying! Let them take lie detector tests - then let's see who's lying. I believe Eunice!!!!

[hellinahandcart]

Every big Florida toll plaza has patrol cars sitting there.

Same in New York. But the guy seemed awfully sure that the car was "waiting for HIM", wasn't he?

Sorta like when I was speeding along the highway, and a cop car pulled out of his hiding place, and started following me with the siren on.

"@$%#!! That cop was WAITING there for me!"

[texasbluebell]

You get the feeling that the 2 guys on the side wish this would all just go away ..

And none of them looks like the brightest bulb in the light socket, do they? How would you like one of these mopes as your doc? Yikes.

I'm sure SNL is reflecting on Salman Rushdie's experience before writing any skits on this stuff.

[Darth Sidious]

Shoney's bump

Northwest Georgia's sure seen its share of media attention this year: the "rack 'em stack 'em crematory" up the road in Noble, now this.

And this Shoney's was right across the street from where you were staying :-) We go there all the time when we're in Calhoun.

[pbear8]

I wish Linda had asked if they were registered Democrats.

[texasbluebell]

(By the way, is Shoney's "halal"? May God forgive their sins!)

LOL! Good one. Wonder if they had bacon with their pancakes.

[pettifogger]

Shoney's bump

I prefer Waffle House, myself.

[cyncooper]

Maybe they spoke in both. However, I doubt the two indo/pakistani guys would converse in Arabic.

I'm sorry the sentence I wrote wasn't very clear. My wording "this couldn't be" was a characterization of the three med students saying only one of them speaks Arabic so it would be impossible for Eunice to have overheard them speaking in Arabic.

Here's the point:

Eunice NEVER said she heard them speaking in Arabic. She has always said she heard English only.

Why are these guys either embellishing their story or outright lying?

[Shermy]

"Kambiz just claimed they had drawn the whole restaurant's attention. Why would he say that?"

Because they did - at least the guy in beard and hat. (By the way, is Shoney's "halal"? May God forgive their sins!)

They are cocky and superior, and think they are above inspection, especially now that liberal guilt is on their side, and the CAIR lawyers have jumped at glee at the chance of face time.

IMHO, when the first stories came out, I was in the "who knows?" sort of opinion. But they're cockiness and superiority after their release proved to me that they did do this as a joke, and now they're lying about it.

Anyone know the story about going down to Miami for med school? Why did they so quickly give that one up?

[Mixer]

Thanks for the ping. i thought I would be by my desk but I ws away. I guess i will try to sort through this 300+ post thread. The jist of it seems to be that they are lying based on what they said last week but sticking to the CNN story. The Lie!
