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.

The U.S's prison for "enemy combatants" which legally have no rights because the land is on
lease from
Cuba and technically not US Soil.
Also the name of the least favorite
Muppet.
Example:
Dude he called
the white house and said he had a bomb so they sent him to
Gitmo.
And now, lets go to our senior imprisoned corresponded Gitmo... -

short for
Guantanamo Bay
scary place where suspected "enemy combatants" are taken and then
interrogated in order to determine whether they are terrorists or not.
this area is lawless; any fucking thing can happen. do the
geneva conventions apply here? who knows?
a large percentage of detainees held are released much much later and labelled to be completely innocent. seems like they take just anybody.
Example:
for some reason, the clothes nick
berg was wearing when he was
decapitated are the uniforms from
gitmo.

Example:
Gitmo: You strip a girl down, push her up against a wall,
frisk her from head to toe. Her arms must be raised above her head,
up against the wall and her legs must be spread far apart. Then have her spit in her hand and lube up her ass hole, then you fuck her in the ass while standing up against a wall. This is
the Gitmo
