The city, home to the hippie movement of the 1960s, was considering inviting “one or two” detainees to live in Berkeley once they were cleared of wrongdoing and released from the U.S. detention facility in Cuba.
The resolution also would have asked Congress to allow cleared Guantanamo detainees to resettle in the U.S.
“We’re talking about a group of people in Guantanamo who have been there up to nine years and have never been charged,” commission member Rita Maran said before the vote.
What little sanity there is left in Berkeley, seemed to prevail. At least up to this point.

ReplyDeleteI have some free advice to all Conservative and Moderate Republicans and sane independents living in California....MOVE. That state is a lost cause. Flee the sinking ship and let that state rot under Liberalism/Socialism.
