Misburial (was Gitmo-ize)

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

Obviously, {-ize} is an extremely productive affix. There are many such in 
English. For example, I know of no dictionary that has an entry for "misburial," 
yet people readily understand the word--see the two examples that a Google 
search uncovered this morning, e.g., "Alleged misburials and grave tampering at 
two South Florida Jewish cemeteries highlight a unique reality in regulating 
the death-care industry: Consumers seldom complain when services fall short, 
removing a key factor regulators usually depend on to find problems."

The productivity of {-ize} has long been known and commented on.
