Amherst
Although no one can tell Amherst, Massachsuetts that inviting former detainees from Gitmo is not allowed, I am not sure why they are going through such effort. All one has to do to understand the futility of town meetings trying to change policy is look at Wendall, Massachusetts when the town voted to legalize marijuana. It seems to me that did not change anything.
Good luck Amherst, I hope you get what you are looking for.
By the way, today is the annivesary of the Bombing in Beirut. So today I shall remember Michael Devlin of Westwood, Massachusetts. I attended High School in that town when he died. I was able to meet his mom once when my friends the Feeney's sold thier house in Sherborn about six months later.
