Disgrace of the Guantanamo.IT is disgraceful that computer games manufacturers should seek to cash in on the scandal of Guantanamo Bay Noun 1.

[Middle English emprisonen, from Old French emprisoner : en- without trial. As I understand it, only one person held at the internment internment, in international law, detention of the nationals or property of an enemy or a belligerent.

When President Obama came to power, at least he demanded that the place be closed down. But this was too little, too late.
