A "relaxing, calm, beautiful place" may not be everyone's description of Guantanamo Bay, but this was the opinion of reigning Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza of Venezuela, who visited the U.S. naval facility in eastern Cuba this month on a trip organized by the United Service Organizations (USO) which supports U.S. troops. "It was a loooot of fun!," Mendoza wrote, describing how she met U.S. military personnel and took rides around the camp, which is encircled by a barbed-wire fenced, minefields and watchtowers. She said they also visited a bar on the base and the "unbelievable" beach there. "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," she wrote. "I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful," she added.I wonder how the terror detainees will react to being transferred from that human rights hell hole to… Virginia. And I think it safe to say, Ms. Mendoza didn't vote for McCain.
