Gitmo

Gitmo is the colloquial term for the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. The camp was created under the Bush administration to hold prisoners suspected of terrorism. President Barack Obama signed an order to close the camp Jan. 22, 2009.

The U.S. attorney general says reviews are under way to decide which Guantanamo Bay detainees could face trial in American courts or special military tribunals.Eric Holder said Sunday the decisions on some detainees could come as soon as next week.The Senate last Thursday backed a plan that allows prosecution of suspects - including those accused in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks - in either federal courts or by a military commission.
