gitmo

Guantanamo Bay.

The US military abbreviation of the base located there is GTMO, which is pronounced either "gee-tee-em-oh", or "Gitmo". On this base is located Camp X-Ray.

The land is on lease from Cuba to the US, which means that it is not technically US soil; this is used as a loophole to allow activities in camp X-Ray that would in the US be against the letter of the constitution, such as detaining people without pressing charge or giving them access to a lawyer. Whether these practices are permissible is the source of hot debate, as they are clearly against the *spirit* of the constitution.

Because of this lack of legislation, Camp X-Ray is the place where the US holds people suspected of terrorism. Apart from the aforementioned lack of rights, it is also reported that inmates are maltreated and abused, both physically and mentally.

Access to Guantanamo Bay is very limited: human rights organisations and members press have hardly any access, and the same goes for those few lawyers that have clients there. (The majority of inmates does not have access to an attorney.)

In summary, Guantanamo Bay is a place where the US government does not deem itself bound by any law, and it appears to use that fact to abuse inmates away from the prying eyes of the world.

club gitmo 

A place in the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba where Islamic terrorist go to be pampered in relative luxury (relative from where they came that is)
Guests are given a Free Koran and prayer rug upon arrival.
Amenities include three professionaly prepared meals a day, opertunities to pray to allah five times a day and a warm bed.
Rack rates are reasonable as they only require your cooperation in questioning. Failure to cooperate will not get you kicked out though... The most they will do will turn off the air conditioning (or leave it on) but it's not as bad as getting your head cut off with a dul knife while you're still awake!

I was in afganistan shooting at those marines, I got caught and they sent me to Club Gitmo... Man am I relaxed now, I think I'll get captured again!!!

Gitmotized

My beautiful laundered brain.

I vaugely recall being held as a prisoner somewhere in Cuba being raped by the guards and left with a bag over my head in a bright orange jumpsuit in the blazing sun - leaving me 'gitmotized' by it all.

Not the most pleasent holiday.
