I didn't see Greta, but I saw them on Larry King. They seemed credible to me... All of them are American - Two of them were born here, and the 3rd was born in Jordan and is an American citizen. They really acted humble and did not have a bad word to say about Mrs. Stone - they even commented on her hospitalization and hoped for a speedy recovery(paraphrasing). When asked whether they would consider a lawsuit they vehemently said no.

I heard Mrs Stone live on Fox that day and she didn't miss a beat. The REPORTERS sure did - they kept referring to her as the "Georgia waitress" (she was a customer) and also misreported that she got the crayons for writing down the license # from her son - making him sound like a child - he is 18. Her story is exactly the same as it was on Friday.

Are the reporters misreporting these students comments, or attributing others comments (i.e. their families comments) to them?? It's getting curiouser and curiouser.

One of those punks' sister came on T.V. , on the weekend and fussed and fumed and called Eunice names. The punks' story changes from day to day and from program to program. Staurday, they were arrogant as all get out; today, they were more subdued. I don't belive them.

It wasn't the media, who said that Eunice claimed that they spoke in Arabic ... it was the three punks, tonight, on Greta's show. Eunice Stone NEVER said that they were talking in Arabic. That's just one thing, out of many, which they have lied, on camera , about. The media / reporters muddled things ; they LIE !

"Are the reporters misreporting these students comments, or attributing others comments (i.e. their families comments) to them?? It's getting curiouser and curiouser."

On Friday afternoon,one of the families from Illinois, held a press conference. They had a fiery representative, who spoke in a thick Arab accent and called Eunice, the police and the rest of Americans, racists, hate mongers, etc. This tirade lasted quite awhile, until the sister came on-she was dressed in Muslim garb, but spoke perfect English. She then launched into a similar tirade. Then the mother, an Arab immigrant, came to the microphone and the angry tirade continued. I could not take anymore and clicked off. The media condensed that scene into a few words by the sister on the nightly news. On the Friday night, the 3 were very arrogant and condescending-sounds like they may have gotten the word to soften their pronouncements, if they want to get into a US hospital for their continuing medical training.

That's because their attornies have now "cleaned up their act." If you compare their comments immediately after their release (at a highway rest stop where they publicly prayed), they have significantly changed their tune. On Friday, they and their families called Mrs. Stone a "liar" and a "racist," and denied that they had said anything that could be construed to be a terrorist plot.

Yesterday, they praised Mrs. Stone, and admitted they had said some of the things she quoted, but that she "misunderstood." Note that the Sheriff states that one of them answered questions with questions -- fishing for info on what LE knew, so they could tailor their story accordingly.

These "boys" are on very shaky ground, whatever their motives or intent; and their attornies know it.
