Are there any citations to the ridiculous conspiracy theory? (other than "Current conspiracy theory") Wiliam Tyree is guilty and no evidence was ever presented that proved otherwise. Nor does it have any relevance to the Devens post. I believe it should be deleted or at least put onto a seperate page with other conspiracy theories. The biggest beef I have is that a definitive document about the Fort is mixed in with unknown or unproven facts about one incident on the fort.

Totally agree with the first part of this post and have edited the Devens entry to more accuratly describe the past and present Devens.

[edit] Move to Devens, Massachusetts?

As the Army base is now history, and most people in the area are coming to view Devens more as a possible town (or, at least, as a residential-commercial village) than as a former base, shouldn't this article be called simply Devens, Massachusetts? Wiki Wistah 00:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The Army Base is not actually history. There is still a mission there, including units of the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as DHS support, that are valid elements and should not be expunged from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tecarr (talk • contribs) 18:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
