Miss Universe says had "lot of fun" in Guantanamo
http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE52U5HS20090331?feedType=RSS&feedName=lifestyleMolt&rpc=22&sp=true

MIAMI (Reuters) - A "relaxing, calm, beautiful place" may not be everyone's description of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the United States holds about 240 prisoners in a detention center that has drawn condemnation from around the world.

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.

2. I think she should lose the title for such ignorance...
Not that we ever expect "beauty queens" to be mensa level, but geebus.

4. Apparently so... unless she was the Miss South Carolina?

On edit... I'd forgotten about the movie, Ms Congeniality.... I'd still have to say the Miss SC is the only "real-life" example of someone as ignorant as this Ms. Universe.
