File in the category of "You couldn't make this stuff up", former Gitmo detainee, Moazzam Begg, is on his way to starring in a new X-box game. The new game, Rendition, is being developed by a software firm in Scotland and lets players control a Guantanamo detainee who is trying to shoot his way out of the prison. Begg's "expertise" was called upon as the game's creators needed to know the layout of the prison thus he was initially hired as a consultant.
Needless to say the game maker is being criticized:
"We have had a lot of hate mail about this, mainly from America, saying things like, 'Don't dare put out a game that shows them killing our soldiers," Zarrar Chishti, director of Scottish software company T-Enterprise, told the U.K.'s Daily Mail."
