UPDATE: Miss Universe Disappears in Guantanamo Bay!

Or rather her blog has....

We revealed yesterday that Miss Universe 2008, Dayana Mendoza, had written a loving blog about her visit to Guantanamo Bay: "I didn’t want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful." After we posted, other media such as the New York Times and Fox News picked up on the story.

Surprisingly, given the eloquence of Mendoza's observations, "We also met the Military dogs, and they did a very nice demonstration of their skills....We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books," the Miss Universe organization has become very shy about the episode.

The blog is gone, replaced with that statement from "Paula M. Shugart, President of the Miss Universe Organization":

The Miss Universe Organization has had a longstanding relationship with the USO (United Service Organizations). All three titleholders (Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA) have participated in many USO goodwill tours to visit the men and women in uniform who serve our country around the world.

As part of the USO’s entertainment program, which boosts the morale of U.S. troops, they have traveled to many locations and many bases around the globe including Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, Korea and most recently, Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, where the U.S. has maintained a naval base since 1898.

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.

The Miss Universe Organization echoes the mission of the USO, which is to lift the spirits of U.S.troops and their families wherever they serve. We will continue to show our appreciation and express our gratitude to the military personnel who serve our nation.

Unfortunately, Shugart offers no insight into the reaction of Guantanamo's recreating detainees to their entertainment by Mendoza.
