Guantanamo 'fun' blog is censored
Evening Standard02.04.09
A post on the Miss Universe website from Miss Venezuela describing "having fun" at Guantanamo Bay has been taken down.
Dayana Mendoza, 22, wrote: "We hung out with the guys from the East Coast and it was a loooot of fun!" and "the water in Guantanamo Bay is soooo beautiful!" She described the detention centre as "very interesting".
Some Venezuelans said she had harmed their country's image by speaking positively about Guantanamo, where 240 men are in custody.

"said she had harmed their country's image by speaking positively about Guantanamo"
At least she'd been there and seen it rather than spouting the PC line !
A Belgian gov't minister said it was a better facility than anything in Belgium.

Can I have a 'piece' too? I always thought they wanted 'World Peace'. I've been deluded all my life, then. Or was that 'Whirrled Peace'?
