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.

Honestly, why would anybody go out of their way and make up such an outrageous story in such detail? These guys are are not just liars they're bad liars.,p> I don't think she would. I believe that the day after 9-11, she saw the towers on fire, and could not justify NOT saying anything. Occam's Razor. The simplest theory is most likely to be the correct theory (or something like that).

I believe they're arrogant liars.

The joking part originated right out of Eunices own mouth. She said they may have been joking, but she thought that if what they were saying was true she should alert the authorities. I don't think any cop said the three men told them they were joking and I followed this story all day. Did I miss something?

I have seen numerous people make false police reports, often when they are being enirely honest

I agree.

If I turned in a bunch a potential terrorists to the police, I would probably not be all over the TV screen like a Chucky-Schumer clone.

So far, their behavior does not inspire confidence in their motives. So far, I wouldn't trust them as far as I can spit a tank.

it's perfectly ok to like to kaffhirs aka. infifels, this is what we are up against.

the facts are though that now it appears that the police were never told by the three men that they were joking. .... it is kinda scary how easy it is to ruin some of these peoples lives.

We don't know the facts yet.

I guess Mrs. Stone's son will be testifying about what he heard, too. It won't just be the word of one woman against three men. There are two witnesses to what the men were saying.

The men should have stuck with the "Just-joking" story, because now, when Eunice and her son testify about what they heard, the young men will have to think up yet another excuse.

They are going to run out of excuses eventually.

"What happened to the stolen-license plate story leaked to the media by "Law Enforcement Sources"?"

The plates were reported as not belonging to the car - making it a possiblity that the car was stolen.

They were traced back to someone in Chicago and it was verified later in the day that the plates were originally on another vehicle and there was a snafu in the plate transfer. The Police were NOT lying!!!

I just read that Barak article. It's not only permissible, it's their duty.

I hope other witnesses come forward to corroborate this lady's story.

I guess her son could testify, too. Then it would be 3 against 2, rather than 3 against 1.

I can't wait till they get the bill for this. You think the expenses will be paid by wire transfer from Saudi Arabia, or Western Pakistan, perhaps?

Heck, towns send bills for ambulance calls and false fire alarms.

What about the possibility that the cops had an outdated computer database?

OH,no, the cops had to leak a premature story to the media vultures.

Such a professional behavior by cops, convincting people on the media by innuendo and speculation.

Well let the Feds, or FL or GA, charge them with making terroristic threats and it can all come out in the trial.

Of course I take with a grain of salt their testimony on a Bible "to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth"

True. It is pure speculation, I'll galdy give you that. I just don't see another theory that fits..

Try this theory. The police receive a tip that there could be three individuals with a bomb headed toward Miami to blow something big up. They pull the car over. They blow up the backpack. They tell the media that their dogs were alerted to explosives. They tell the media that the license plates are stolen. They shut down major raos arteries for 16-19 hours. They call in the FBI and who knows what else. Then they start to acquire facts whic don't help their theory. The license plates are valid. There are no explosives. Staring to look like "egg on the face" time. Thats when you back off and hope things go away as quickly and and quietly as possible.

I saw a police spokesman say that the men said that they were just joking at least once today.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh, have YOU been brainwashed. You give far too much lassitude, to these guys. You don't know them amd you don't know the woman who called the police. Did you even bother to watch her, on T.V. tonight ?

Okay, let's, for the sake of arguement, say that there are three sides to the story : the men's, the woman's and THE TRUTH .

The men were uncooperative with the police, they blew through a token booth, there were traces of expolsives in one car, and they've now played the race card, claimed victimhood, and are calling Eunice a liar. What makes you think that the truth is on their side ?

The woman, heard something said by these three men. They must have been talking loudly enough, for her to have heard it. What they said made her uncomfortable enough to call the police and take down a lisence plate number. She has NOT been paid a dime. She has been on T.V., though. The Presidident asked EVERYONE to be on alert and turn in any suspicious people. We just had the 1 year anniversary of 9/11. A " sleeper cell " has been uncovered and men arrested. Muslim whack jobs, all over the world, are calling for our heads on a platter. Yeah, Eunice just hates Muslims, for no reason , and made a cramk call. NOT !

The truth is, you haven't enough sense to be even a little wary of a suspicious situation. I wouldn't want you anywhere near me, in the face of a posssible problem. You'd be too busy trying to explain it away. This isn't anything at all like the confetti incident. This government put Japanese people in camps, when we were fighting WW II. The people of this country, during WW I ( a war we fought on the wrong side of; but, that's another story ) refused to buy products, made in America, by Americans, that even had the name of a product, that was even remotely related to any of the nations we were not allies of. Ever hear of " Danish " pastry ? It isn't from Demark ! It's a Hungarian pastry, called delkeral. Changing the name, was the ONLY way, that bakeries could sell it, during and after WW I !

Medical students? Let 'em be medical students back in whatever third world hellhole they came from. Deportation might make them think twice about joking. If any of them are naturalized, they can send the others a postcard.

I am an RN in a northeast hospital in NJ and we just got out fresh batch of first year residents. Of 8 of them, 6 are of middle eastern dissent. The other 2 are Americans. This is quite sad, IMO. Where are all the future American docs?
