There's one thing about the students story that bothers me.

They say the woman was lying. They also say that they paid the tolls (they were in 2 cars) and that the woman in the toll booth was lying as well when she said they didn't pay. This means either they just happened to run into two very big liars in a matter of hours or they are the ones lying. Right?

Can you provide a source for the this? I haven't seen where they said they paid the tolls nor where they said a woman in the toll booths was lying. Thanks

Why not some of them have access to dangerous meds. Also add food handlers into the mix. We've already had one of those type attacks in America and it took the 10 years I beleive to solve it. Oregon or Washington area I can't remember which.

A slick lawyer has gotten to these clowns. They have already admitted to saying what the woman reported. In Georgia they have committed at least two felonies. First, they are guilty of a hate crime under Ga. Law; Second, they are guilty of making terroristic threats. They are also in violation of several federal laws, including several provisions of the new Patriot Act.

It may have been a joke to them, but it is not a joking matter in this country at this time. They are very lucky to not have been shot resisting arrest.

What are the call letters of your station in Las Vegas?

Is the He said She said senario

Still haven't heard an explaination for the "he" element blowing through a toll booth at 1AM, and two bomb-sniffing dogs making a positive response, and the stolen license plate.

A good terrorist plan would include "plausible deniability", which these guys seem to have as students going to a conference. There are still, however, some disturbingly loose ends.

They didn't get kicked out of medical school.. they were set to do their internship at a hospital in Miami. The hospital started receiving hate mail about these three, and the hospital cancelled their internship with their hospital. The hospital did say that they would find another hospital for them to intern at, though. So they are just going to "disappear" into another hospital somewhere.

Can you post a source for this? Where did you see this? I haven't seen this. Thanks

Deport these assholes

is a naturalized U.S. citizen who now lives in Chicago, Illinois. Butt was also born in Jordan and is a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Chicago. Choudhary was born in Detroit, Michigan

To where? Pocatello, Idaho? Read more carefully. They are citizens.

If they were so innocent, why would a second car pull up behind a cop who pulled over the first car? Especially considering they are of middle eastern descent. I work professionally and closely with several of central asian race and they are quite conscientious not to render inaacurate appearances. They're quite cognizant of curent events and find 911 an abomination. They're also the first ones to probably volunteer more than they should with authorities.

If these folk are inncocent, the next query I would have would be with possible national power level structures on the socialist side, contriving a scene in order to discredit conservative positions in the Middle East. Even if full fledge terrorists, I don't witness that much coverage by CNN, nor effeminate appearing law enforment officers from southern FLA.

Probably nothing more than an wkward situation, but I wouldn't put it past the SoFLA DEMOSocialist position to have contrived the entire affair.

[cubreporter]

That's what we said. If they don't believe her no one else will report anything at all! People are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Personally, I believe the woman.

Maybe it's time to decide that not all citizens of this country should be allowed to continue to be citizens. John Walker Lindh comes to mind in this regard.

You're too clever.

It was domestic terrorism, anyway; someone counting on people like most of the idiots on FR who can't see that the Anthrax thing was NOTHING like the typical radical jihadist typically put on

Or it could be radical jihadists counting on idiots like you not understanding the significance of facing a threat the world has never seen.

Eunice Stone has just admitted she LIED to the authorities about the 3 guys...

Huh?

My head is spinning. Is this true? Do we have confirm on this? The last I heard was that Eunice Stone said she'd do it all again.

[infowarrior]

What we are seeing here, is a "trial balloon" on Sharia "law". He is male, and a Muslim, she is female, and an "infidel", ergo he must be telling the truth, and she must be lying, as the Quran dictates...

"The toll gate attendent now says that the driver of the second car paid for the first one."

Hmmm ....

[ConsistentLibertarian]

"Eunice Stone has just admitted she LIED to the authorities about the 3 guys..."

I see ...

[ConsistentLibertarian]

"Fox was saying it was an administrative screwup by state of Illinois and that the plates were not stolen."

You don't say ...

They also say that they paid the tolls (they were in 2 cars) and that the woman in the toll booth was lying as well when she said they didn't pay.

I thought there was an officer at the toll booth who saw them go through without paying, then gave chase.

[Mo1]

I believe her also ..

They may have thought they were joking or teaching her a lesson for her having the nerve to look at them

But I find NO humor in what they did

NOTHING about 9/11 is a joke and I don't give a hoot where they come from .. I would have called the police also if I over heard the same thing

[ExSoldier]

""I'm not suggesting, I'm telling you she's flat-out lying."

Yeah, right.

I say: "BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY."
