It's looking like the 3 people being detained in FL may just be medical students on the way to Miami (confirmed by Miami hospital). I don't think Ms. Stone purposely lied to officials but I think she may had not heard things she thought she heard. 3 young arab men in a southern state are not the most popular people.

Those 3 muslims only have their fellow Muslims who atacked the Twin Towers to blame. Sure we are jumpy but it's better to be safe than sorry.

If they're innocent, why can't they just cooperate with authorities? Every news blurb on the developing story has said that these three med students were "completely uncooperative" with authorities. Hey, if that's the way you're gonna play, then suffer the consequences...

If they were laughing and joking about 9/11 (serious or not) then they should consider themselves VERY lucky some even jumpier citizens didn't decide to take more drastic and immediate action.

As far as the issue of it happening in the South, I'd be willing to bet most folks in New York would have done the same thing had they overheard the same conversation.

Umm... why would these supposed terrorists speak about "acts of terrorism" in clear English in a restaurant with people around? Maybe they saw that she was being nosy and decided to play with her. In which case, they deserve this too...

But WHY, why would terrorists even speak English to each other? They are not terrorists. Or this entire story was fabricated on her part.

Not to the extent of an outright lie which is common practice for Middle Eastern backed media,especially Pro Middle Eastern Media right here in the USA.

My fiance just got back from London / France yesterday. She said she saw newspapers there indicating the U.S. attacked IRAQ with hundreds of jet fighters. :confused:

you don't have to be cooperative (unless ashcroft has repealed the 4th amendment).

Yeah the whole thing sounds far too fabricated to me. I agree that its better to be safe than sorry but take stories like this with a grain of salt. Unless they specifically found weapons or bombs in the car I wouldn't form an opinion.

Nobody says they have to be recent imports from afghanistan. English could be second nature by now. They could have been more along the lines of that puerto rican fellow who thinks he's a muslim terrorist.
A lotta coulda's.
I want some more facts, ma'am.

How can you blame her? The men had dark skin. What more proof do you need? We should probably round up all Americans on Arabian decent (and probably blacks too, just to be safe) and put them in camps.

These people are American citizens, but their ethnicity makes them terrorist to some closed minded people.

If they said what they did then the purposely incited panic and should have the book thrown at them . It's no different than yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater. You forget they also blew through a toll both and had switched license plates. Now it doesn't matter if they are Arabs or Canadians, it's still suspicous and reckless behavior and those who question the actions taken are obviously talking out their ass.

No but we should double check what they are teaching you at the special school you take the short bus too.

Suck it, Red. We have no way of knowing if what they said is what she said they said. Maybe she was going off a Shoney's strawberry pie sugar rush and misheard what they said. It's easy to put words in people's mouths when you're prejudiced to people like them.

And it's nowhere near their fault that people of similar ethnic backgrounds decided to fly planes in buildings; they shouldn't be punished because of it.

Just like you shouldn't be punished if a bunch of hairy-palmed retards knocks over a liquor store.

Whole thing smells like a 3 day old carp to me.

They did break the law in a number of ways and should at least answer for that.

Medical Students? From the island of Dominica driving to Floriduh from Chicago???Hah, maybe in todays world.

Why do most foreighners feel like they are above the laws, especially the traffic laws in S Floriduh?

Arrogant SOBs

A law enforcement source tells CNN that the terror scare that closed an interstate highway in Florida might have come from a prank that three young men played on another patron at a Georgia restaurant. The men are medical students who were on their way to Miami to start a medical course when they were stopped by police.

If it's a prank, it's in real poor choice. I'm sure what happened if the above is true is the woman was being nosy about some dark skinned people, one of whom was wearing a Muslim hat and they decided to string her along.

It seems you are doing exactly what you accuse that women of doing. Pre-judging her based on her origin and skin color. Thanks for being a tool and hypocrite, please move along.

Yeah except there's no proof that they had any kind of weapons, explosives, etc.

My explanation helps to show how some person heard so many details about another group's conversation.

So blowing through a toll gate and having swtched license plates on top of their "unfortunate" remarks is not reason for them to be held for questioning and the only reason they are is because they happen to be darker than Eunice herself? How do you know Eunice wasn't black herself? I don't know what race she is. I don't even know what her religion is. Do you hotshot?

If you don't want to be pulled over and questioned I think a few things you can avoid is saying BS like they did and blowing through toll booths at high speed with stolen plates.

your explanation is pure specualtion. Considering the rest of the tripe you posted in this thread I doubt it should even be given the slightest bit of consideration.

No it doesn't. They were sitting right next to each other with only latticework separating them. What they decided to was to horrify the lady and her son as a cheap juvenile way of getting back at her for a stare. Sonny boy, if I go into a restaurant wearing unusual foreign clothing of any kind, I'm gonna get stared at, as I'm sure these aho's know. Boo for them for thinking it doesn't apply to them.
