Sometimes this stuff just writes itself

Following her whistle stop visit to Miami fashion week, Dayana Mendoza, the Venezuelan Miss Universe travelled on to Guantánamo Bay, which she was pleased to discover was a "relaxing, calm, beautiful place." Amongst other things, she got to meet the military dogs, who "did a very nice demonstration of their skills," got to see the jail, where the inmates shower and take art classes. She even found an "unbelievable" beach. "I didn't want to leave," Mendoza said, "it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful."

Now I realise why so many people still seem to be there. And here's me thinking they actually wanted to leave!

Postscript: The Miss Universe blog on which this was posted has obviously been getting a lot of traffic. They've taken down the original post and put up a much more bland comment about their commitment to USO. "Dayana Mendoza’s comments on her blog were in reference to the hospitality she received while meeting the members of the U.S. military and their families who are stationed in Guantánamo," they hastily clarified.
