Miss Universe says Guantanamo 'lots of fun'

The reigning Miss Universe has visited the infamous US prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and described it as "a loooot of fun!"

Writing on her personal blog, Venezuelan beauty Dayana Mendoza said she had an "incredible experience" visiting the "calm and beautiful" facility with Miss USA Crystle Stewart on a VIP tour last week.

Mendoza, 22, details how she visited a bar and an "unbelievable" beach at the prison camp, which will be closed next year after an almost continuous stream of allegations of torture and mistreatment of prisoners since opening in 2002.

Her blog entry, dated March 27, now appears to have been taken down.

"We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the[y] recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting," Mendoza wrote.

"We also met the military dogs, and they did a very nice demonstration of their skills. All the guys from the Army were amazing with us.

"I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful."

Detention centre spokesman Navy Lieutenant Commander Brook DeWalt said he did not know if any of the camp's 400 prisoners were "out and about" when the two women were on their tour.

Guantanamo has long attracted criticism from human rights groups over allegations of torture, such as the controversial drowning simulation known as "waterboarding".

Is this tabloid trash for real ??? !!! ???

Reality No. 1: Concentration Camps are BAD NOT FUN.

Reality No. 2: Torture of HUMANS happens there!

Was this brainless twit used to spread some sort of propaganda ?

Maybe she should also visit the Nazi German Concentration Camps e.g. Auschwitz.
