The Venezuelan beauty finds Guantanamo to be ‘a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful’.

As pressure grows on Barack Obama to go back on killjoy plans to close the Guantanamo Holiday Camp, the Venezuelan beauty, Dayana Mendoza, visited the camp and wrote glowingly of her visit on the Miss Universe blog.

‘We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how they recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting.‘

Miss Mendoza, for one, seems to share our enthusiasm for the holiday camp and though these are difficult economic times, must all fun be sacrificed now that the glorious Bush years have come to an end?

Miss Universe is reportedly due to visit Baghdad, Kabul and the Congo on a world tour of the most tranquil and scenic places to visit on the planet but Guantanamo will remain close to her heart.

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

Original BBC story which we picked up in a rather silly mood.
