I'm a bit curious : if these worthies were Middle Eastern, how come they were speaking English ? ( I assume that was their language , since no mention was made of the waitress being fluent in Arabic, Spanish, etc. )

This suggests English was their primary language, or English was a common language for three people of different language backgrounds.

Mmmmmmmm........ Veddy interesting - schtupid too !

You have a valid point regarding language. FOX News has been talking to Eunice Stone on the phone (the lady that overheard the conversation and reported it along with the license plate - Illinois plate, I believe). They both question why they would speak in English. Of course, the terrorists have yet to convince me of their intellectual supremacy so far.

Two of them were naturalized citizens. In a crowded Shoney's, english conversation would, to one passing by, seem innocuous, while Arabic would stand out to the ear. BTW, if any of these bozos lied on their application to be a citizen, they can lose their citizenship and be subject to deportation.
