The Berkeley city council, known for its forays into international
affairs, has narrowly rejected a measure that would have welcomed freed
Guantanamo Bay detainees to resettle in this California college town.
The resolution would have asked Congress to allow Guantanamo prisoners
who have been cleared of wrongdoing to resettle in the U.S. — and
invited “one or two” of them to live in Berkeley.
The measure lost in a 4-1 vote, with four abstentions, late Tuesday. . .
