>Brett Newkirk, one of four attorneys representing the students, called the situation "an incident of misunderstanding."

Four lawyers! You'd think one would do.

"They are Americans, just like any other American, who are proud to be American, who want to fulfill the American dream, and who were on the road to doing that when the American nightmare happened to them," Newkirk said.

The American nightmare occurred on 9/11/01.

simply want to clear their names and be allowed to continue their education in the United States

They could start by apologizing to Eunice Stone and for calling her a liar. I want to know where these three "doctors" in up. I certainly want to avoid having them take care of my medical needs if they're so stupid as to pull this and then lie about it.

Butt said he believes Stone was attempting to be "a patriot for America."

A far more nobler aspiration than being a lying Arab smarta$$.

Notice how they've softened the story. On Friday, their families and their professional Arab (Jesse Jackson) handler, called a press conference to label Eunice Stone a racist and a liar. I think CNN is the only network that covered their hateful press conference live, that's where I watched it. Other networks just replayed small clips later.

Thank goodness Eunice Stone had already been on FOXNews, thank goodness law enforcement had already judged her to be credible. These students must realize the public has spoken...the public believes Eunice Stone.

I would assume they are from (or constitute) the same law firm.

The attorneys (whose names sure don't sound Muslim) probably convinced them not to rant and rave so much.

Mistake? No, it was a hate crime perpetrated against the American people.

"We're in a state of shock and we are scared," Butt said. "But I'd like to tell the American people that we are not a threat."

I saw one of these guys on TV and he was smarmy, arrogant, smug, condescending and belligerent.

He called the lady a liar in those words.

He was sopping up the attention with a big circle of media around him.

Anyone who saw Eunice on FOX News knows she wasn't lying, but the three "all-American boys" as one thread refers to them thought they could cop an attitude and call her a liar and get away with it.

Now they see their medical careers starting to slip away so they've put a sock in it.

The woman is utterly believable. If these men simply admitted their "prank" and repented of it, they would have some credibility. As it is, to cover up their own stupidity and evil, they go on trying to trash this woman's reputation. That is despicable and unforgiveable.

Wahhaj served as a character witness on behalf of convicted Muslim cleric/terrorist Omar Abdel Rahman who masterminded the New York terrorist plot. CAIR has also criticized President Bush's closing down of the Holy Land Foundation, a front group for Hamas terrorists. In 1998, the chairman of CAIR gave a speech to a group of California Muslims and told them: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."") (091302)

I agree. I can forgive a$$hole comments when one "owns up" to them. I think, today, we have too many paranoid people, but in this case, I think this woman did the right thing, especially if she heard what she says she heard. I believe her.

I suppose they'll get a walk down the yellow brick PC road. They should be prosecuted and sent for the 'sensitivity' training the Left likes to force on the rest of us.

At best, such poor judgment betrays that these students are not proper the caliber to be trusted as doctors. At worst, the fear of bioterrorism looms in my mind when I think of cells or disgruntled Islams as med students.

Agreed that if they frankly admitted they were trying to mess with people's minds because they feel intimidated that I would have believed that. That would have been a cautionary tale to others who thought that such a prank would have any positive reesults. But to stonewall, change stories, call her a racist and liar, complain about their treatments and such, just tells me that these guys should be expelled and fined Further, if anything happens to Eunice or her family members the feds better know exactly where these guys are and swoop them up.
