GITMO XXOO

30-Mar-2009, SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Miss Universe and Miss USA have taken a firsthand look at the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay. The beauty pageant winners took part in a VIP tour to entertain American military personnel at the prison in Cuba.

Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza is blogging on the pageant Web site about her visit with Miss USA Crystle Stewart. The Venezuelan says they toured recreation and classroom areas of the prison. She said it was interesting but did not go into detail. The women later saw the high-security perimeter fence and went to the beach. Detention center spokesman Navy Lt. Cmdr. Brook DeWalt said Monday he doesn't know if any prisoners were "out and about" when the two women were inside the prison camp.
