  • women.

  • There are tons of places around the world where people throughout history have been tortured. These places are really lovely: Venice, Rome, Salem, Mexico City, Cairo, and the list goes on. Not everyone who goes to these places knows what went on there, so I don't know that we can be too hard on her. However, we think that she should know more about what happened in her own time.

  • Hey fat ass,you are ugly

  • She sounds like the stupid girls in my 7th grade class who is forced to write about what she did over the summer. Am I right?

  • @dinex2 Yes every single country has used torture in some sort. It works, its ethical, and who gives a fuck if its civilized

  • @vwellthen

    Most countries don't use torture. According to experts it doesn't work. It's not ethical by. And I give a fuck if it's civilized. Those are facts countering the shit you made up.

  • @dinex2 Most experts are full of shit, its ethical because it make sense to do, and you really need to shut the fuck up.

  • @vwellthen

    Fantastic arguments. I'm going to assume you're a troll and ignore you now.

  • @dinex2 and you are a fool

  • EVERY country uses physical forms of coercion to extract information from potentially highly dangerous detainees. what makes the US different? the US uses non-injurious methods such as waterboarding, which has no permanent effects or bodily injury. other countries are lopping off fucking fingers, using rape, sensory deprivation, chemical treatments, scalding, flogging, whipping, beating, and other means. wanna know about real torture? ask a Cambodian about the Khmer Rouge

  • @marlenus1969

    Waterboarding has shown to have permanent psychological effects in studies. Most civilized countries don't use torture. Stop trying to drag the US down to the standards of the shittiest countries. And torture doesn't even work anyway. So it's unethical, illegal and a stupid waste of resources at the same time.

  • @wwefan12315

    Why are you telling this to me? You should stick to communicating with other pro wrestling fans.

  • @dinex2 of course all torture is unethical, but dont be mistaken, its effective. and what point did i say anything to " drag the US down"? and if you dont think ALL countries use some forms of torture or "aggressive persuasion" you are incredibly mistaken. seriously, do you really think "most civilized countries" ask terrorists to " pretty please tell us where the bombs are"

  • @marlenus1969

    It's not effective according to the experts. Most countries don't use torture. Not only because it's illegal but also because it's NOT EFFECTIVE. Israel used to torture but they have stopped because according to their experts it's NOT EFFECTIVE. Those are facts. You should read up on the facts instead of making shit up and expecting me to believe it.

  • @dinex2 i would be interested in who these "experts" are. and how on earth are you privy to such knowledge as to what "most" countries do in their intelligence gathering and interrogation methods? i made nothing up, im ex military from the intelligence community. your facts im sure come from the liberal community.

  • @marlenus1969

    My facts come from interrogation experts from different countries like USA, Israel, UK and so on. And also people that have been tortured like John McCain. They all agree. Torture only gives unreliable information and is therefore ineffective. You can also find this information if you do some quick google searches. Torture is not effective and that is part of the reason why noone uses it. That's a fact coming from reality. But I know reality has a liberal bias according to some.

  • @marlenus1969

    Here is a link in case you are to stupid to google yourself which might be a possibility given your stupid replies to me: worldwideweb . zerohedge . com / article / interrogation-experts-every-br­anch-military-and-intelligence­-agree-torture-doesnt-produce-­us

  • anyone supporting torture of suspects deserves to die....painfully

  • the way cenk was reading it made it seem like a 2nd grader wrote it XD

  • Gitmo is on a beautiful beach. Who cares if the prisoners don't get to swim in it? do U.S. prisoners get to go to the beach? Its not like every prisoner there get "tortured". It is a war and they are our POWs. At least we don't behead our POWs on live TV like they do.

  • @playthefield21 yes, im sure they showed her the torturing as well

  • Serving in Gitmo is the next best thing to being in hell. This girl is a true air head and makes blonds look intellegent!! It's a restricted navy base so not just anyone can be there. I was there on Naval meneuvers and I'll tell you, it's hell!

  • @blacksheep3703 "This girl is a true air head and makes blonds [sic] look intellegent [sic]" That's blonder than blonde, right there.

  • the media sucks! she said that in reference to the members of the US military and their families! you morons!

  • i hate the media!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Of course she's not the only one who remembers Guantanamo with a "smiley face."

    There's Dick Cheney.

  • Oh my god !

  • wtf dumb bitch lol 

  • You missed the best angle...

    Club Gitmo. It could be the newest theme park.

  • god if i ever saw GBay i would shit my pants becuz im afghan and afghans are on the other side of the fence over there

  • LMAO! Oh that gave me a good laugh. She doesn't know what that place really is, i bet, nor was she probably told.

  • ohh whatever... no need to make such a bid deal out of it

  • @tetrulz

    Yeah, a topic not even worth three minutes.

  • @mikesheritage5

    I hope you get your head out of your ass.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

  • @RepublicAgent

    Oh and now your an expert on waterboarding? Since I don't know what i'm talking about please enlighten me.!! I'd love to hear how your heart bleeds for the enemy.

  • I don't think so. Can't convince a fool of anything.

  • @RepublicAgent

    You spine less pussy.! It's a good thing you didn't attempt to enlighten me with your yellow belly ideas. On this topic or any topic i'd mentally bitch slap you with simple logic.

  • @mikesheritage5 what about the innocent victims ? Please tell me that you don't hate us all ??? anyway i respect your opinion since your from the other half of the world which only views us from one lens. God bless Americans and keep them safe so we don't get all blamed and accused.. Amen!

  • For all the idiots on here that are saying they probably didn't let her see anything bad, i love how you're missing the part of her blog where she writes "we visited the detainee camps and saw where they shower".

    Bill Mahar is right about the US, it's truly sad.

  • @playthefield21 Because we should take everything PAGEANT WINNERS write in their blogs lol...

  • @playthefield21 Err seriously, forgot that word.

  • she may be very sexy.. but incredibly stupid man lol

  • "I don't want to ever leave Guantanamo Bay!"

    You're lucky you CAN leave.

  • i love cenk, but he's "fox newsing" it a little bit here..

  • He wasn't serious about the view of the water at Gitmo. He was making fun of the Ms. Universe. It's called sarcasm.

  • Apparrently you're as stupid as the majority of Americans, so i feel i should educate you. About 85% or more of the detainees turned out to be completely innocent, and were brought in on suspicion alone; there was no evidence.

    Also, don't reply back until you've become acquainted with a friend named sarcasm.

  • @incidentalist i hope ur just very stupid ... or else u deserve to die... painfully

  • Ugh... beauty-queens.

    Whenever one of them opens their mouth, it seems that genes for qualities humans consider aesthetically pleasing do not go together well for the ones for well developed brains.

  • Comment removed

  • shame on them and shame on all the ppl who dares to talk about dayana as a not smart person.. i hate they refer to them like dummies... THEY R NOT!! SHE'S VERY VERY SMART GIRL AND A LOT MORE OF A HUMAN BEEN THAN U ASSHOULD!!! she sing a contrat jackass she can't say all she wants to say... her boss is donald trump...

  • so U tink che smart? I no suprice.

    p.s. peole aren't saying that she is a "not smart person" they are saying she is stupid and shallow and has no idea how rediculous she sounds when she describes gitmo as some kind of paradise.

  • what soooooo stupid and idiot man this...

    shut your fucked mouth up

  • marico te dije ya..

  • stupid ... you want to discriminate against Latinos .... impress red neck ... she just gave her opinion about this political comedy, stupid

  • i have one word

    idjit.

  • She probably knew nothing about it to begin with, and I doubt they showed her anything bad while she was at GITMO. They probably carefully controlled what she saw.

  • It's a military base, Cenk.

    I don't think they let her visit in a POW camp.

  • umm.. even though its obvious that gtmo bay nowadays is usually associated with US naval base, torture, terrorism, etc.. it should be obvious to anybody that thats not all thats in guantanamo.

    im pretty sure she wasn't shown how the "detainees" are being held. she was being shown the beach, the countryside, nature, etc.

    so.... what exactly is wrong with what she said??

    that's like anybody going to pearl harbor and seeing it's a beautiful place. you dont HAVE to associate it with WWII always

  • i bet they took them to a resort and told them this is gitmo.

  • The US Military was using her as a propaganda tool. SHAME ON THEM !!!

  • sounds nice, lets kill all the terrorists there so we can have a nice beach (seeing whereas president hussein can't find any other countries to take them, lol

  • Must have been a really good Acid Trip...

  • Well if she said that, i wonder what Miss USA said?

  • That was funny and sad. The pageants truly look for "beauty" and not Brains.

  • r u suprised? oh, thats why i didn´t win the prettiest pretty beauty pageant... ; )

  • While what was said is definitely on par for what I'd expect from any beauty queen, we all just have to accept it because what can you do? Do you honestly think these people are going to turn around and tell the truth about the atmosphere, even if they have the capacity to understand such a concept or get their news from an organisation that isn't associated with Fox?

  • JAJ it's dosn't matter everyone make mistakes but once angain Dayana Mendoza is a wonderfull woman in this world

  • I prefer a hundred times to be in Guantanamo than in the rest of the island, that's for sure.

    ¡VIVA VENEZUELA Y VIVA NUESTRA MISS UNIVERSO, CARAJO!

  • Yeah We, the Venezuelans are the most beautiful people all over the world.

  • Comment removed

  • This isn't a political issue, you twat. She called one of the biggest hellholes on earth a lovely, fun place to visit. People were tortured there. She's a fucking idiot.

  • dude thats so true... she basically said that the hell of guantanamo was "heaven"... wtf? fuckin ignorant....uh...

  • This guy is an idiot! She came to Cuba to support the sailors and soldiers who are working their ass off protecting guys like this that don't understand how they got their freedom or appreciate the sacrifices the men and women are making in GTMO. She does and has earned my respect for making the trip and describing a side of GTMO that the media doesn't want you to hear about. Guantanamo Bay is not just about the prison. It was a Navy Base for a hundred years prior to the prison.

  • It's a bunch of murdering retards occupying an island where they are not wanted and torturing innocent men for fun. You're a brainwashed racist idiot.

  • doanld trump's sexdoll of the moment...

  • Oh man, this is just way too absurd. I don't even know man.

  • Certainly you can´t have it all!!! But what can you expect from this kind of beauty queens who are just thinking to make a big splash in stardom I guess that she's not receiving diplomat behavior classes nor she's interested on it.

  • We, the venezuelans are the most beautiful people all over the world. Don`t be JEAULUS.

  • hell no...dont even worry about it... not jealous at all... i certainly do NOT envy such beauty along with such stupidity and ignorance... at the end, you cant fix the world with just being phisically beautiful... ;)

  • wE, THE VENEZUELANS ARE THE MOST beatiful people all over the world, Just remember that...

  • I remember watching a special on how ALL of the Ms. Venezuela contestants try to go to the same few great surgeons for any tiny imperfection.

  • Considering Dayana Mendoza is not actually depicted saying these things, one could claim that this reporter is the imbecile for such a simplistic story where words are taken out of context.

    What exactly did she get to see? The trip was coordinated by people that made sure that it wasn't an eye-opening or political experience.

    One can visit LA, NYC, Paris, Beijing and walk away with great experiences without having viewed police beatings, overcrowded jails, corrupt politicians, etc.

  • @HugoBossSuperModel bravo Hugo

  • @HugoBossSuperModel so you are basically saying that if an organization you work for makes you do things, it is justified to do such things. funny, because that has been one of the common arguments that torturers have had in their defense. the government forced me to do it, i could not avoid it, it was not my responsibility! guess what! human beings with integrity and brains have the right to question if their bosses or people in charge. ur analogy of visiting paris, or beiking is lame....

  • @HugoBossSuperModel because actually none of these cities have been declared INTERNATIONALLY centers of torture. we all know donald trump who owns the miss universe is a dick, but there have been amazing miss universes who haven't done what he wanted. amelia vega was such a good example.

  • @HugoBossSuperModel You have a point. But I'd still say she's the bigger moron for writing a such a light-hearted and insensitive blog about a place that EVERYONE knows is a horrible. It doesn't matter what she saw. She should know what really goes on at Gitmo and take that into consideration before she just goes to assume Guantanamo is just a lovely, relaxing place where everyone is nice. And if she doesn't know that, she's an airhead and deserves to be mocked.

  • @SupaAmi she said that her comments was in reference to the members of the US military and their families

  • They should have left her somewhere secluded and dark with detainees and see what she thinks about Gitmo after a few days.

  • they should leave her somewhere secluded and dark with me

  • Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone could have lives where not only are they taken on pointless tours of historical places that have noting to do with their career/job, but that were so stupid that people were afraid to insult them - even if their perception of the visit and its relevance was completely wrong? It must be bliss to have no significant role in society and be too ignorant to realize it.

  • Some people are born stupid but people like her have worked hard their entire lives to perfect ignorance and stupidity as an art.

  • esta tipa es un pitillo (pajilla) total.. Plastico por fuera, y hueca por dentro. vieja ignorante.

  • Did she dance and sing for all the detainees?

    Isn't "detainee" a politically correct phrase. Detainee sounds like they've been detained for a short period of time. Once they keep them there for 8 years or even longer, how can they still call them a detainee. I would call that serving "hard time".

  • shameless

  • First of all, this commentator is an arse!

    I suspect from his looks, that his grandparents probably weren't very fluent in English either.

    One has to understand that Dayana is not a native English speaker. As a result, her spontaneous expression may seem a bit odd when (improperly) translated to English.

    Also, she was quite obviously not referring to the interior workings of the prison. She referred to the treatment she received while there.

    And of course it was of a preferential sort!

  • I know where I am going on my next vacation!

  • Im a Venezuelan woman!!!...It is very sad and embarrassing that such an IGNORANT woman is representing all the Venezuelan women around the world. I invite her to watch Taxi to the Dark Side, which is a documentary about places like Guantanamo, where hundreds of innocent people is tortured and killed every year (you can get this online or in a video store Dayana! Just in case you dont know). Dayana why dont you stop reading about make-up and fashion for a while and pick up the newspaper

  • Chavista

  • HAHAHA...you really don't know what a Chavista is. In fact I might be the most ANTICHAVISTA person in this entire thing.Because that "Monkey with Power" talks about Guantanamo Bay it does not mean I agree with his doctrine and his communism ideas.This is about a Miss Universe talking about this place like if it is a vacation resort, and indirectly supporting a system of neoconservatives and neoliberals that Obviously does not work either.You can go to Venezuela anytime and see what Chavistas are

  • lol! WTF! Did she know where she was?

  • ....thanks...now my brain is a splode.

  • Obviosly nobody in the miss universe organization its gonna allow that miss universe see tortures a killings. She saw the nice part of the island, the sunset and the logistic prepared for her.

  • cockmeat sandwich time

  • rofl!

  • She sounds like a 4th grader writing a "What I did this Summer" essay.

  • That's kinda sick.

  • Holy shit ..... WTF next?

  • Air Head

  • Come on, what the hell is going on here, we don´t know what really happened there or what she saw in there besides I think Miss Universe Organizations check everything what she writes and she is not allowed to write about bad things or politics, so stop calling her stupid because she is not..

  • I completely agree with you

  • I've seen her write stupid stuff and heard her say stupid stuff. So I'll assume she's stupid. But if you link me to something smart, I'll reconsider.

  • Obviosly nobody in the miss universe organization its gonna allow that miss universe see tortures a killings. She saw the nice part of the island, the sunset and the logistic prepared for her.

  • Obviously that's what the Venezuelan government does when people form outside of Venezuela go and Visit Hugo Chavez.

    I am glad that you understand that people can get easily deceived.

    Right Mr. Sean Penn?

  • It's so much going in this world and this MOTHER FUCKER wants to waste his time talking about someone that is just trying to make a better world, for the people that she touch. People just get a clue....

  • what else could you possibly expect from a brainless chick.

    As her description, seems like shes been living in a fairytale world where A rainbow would 'cum' from a guys penis.

  • bahahaha! This is hysterical!

  • Have you been there?

  • She is not intelligent, she is not pretty, has a nose job , ¿what fuck is a Miss "universe"?

  • YOU SHOULD SEE THE WATER! HAHA

  • my cousin was stationed in Gitmo for a year

  • Dumb Girl! What do you expect though??

  • oh my god... let her stayy!!!! :D

  • The comments from Dayana are not handled in the right way because she only mentioned at her blog that was a beautiful beach called Playa Vidrios that she visited and the beautiful bay that is Gauntanamo Bay

  • When she said A LOOTT OF FUNNN it wasn't meant about the prision she wrote at her blog about the beautiful beach that is guantanamo and the well way that she was treated and the hospitality from the military base .

  • Wasn't it a USO trip? Is she dumb because she disagrees with the typical Leftist propaganda about Gitmo?  Other prisoners of war should wish for such good treatment as you detainees have at Gitmo.

  • im sure she's still smarter than miss south Carolina...

  • lol

  • She's pulled all that from her blog. I believe the next day. Somebody probably tapped her on the shoulder and said - um... no......

  • she should have tried the water boarding, i hear thats a Loooooot of FUN!!!

    hope you drown fuckhead

  • Dumb cunt. -_-

  • and to finish, WE latin people (outside US territory) have a different perception of Guantamo. You have every right to consider it an awful place, because its a symbol of lots of things going wrong in the US, but for us (and the woman is Venezualian) its different, because everywhere in latin america, US as "soiled" some of the prettiest places with wars but we try to look beyond that and look at the beauty that lies in front of us. Just like in Irak which is beautiful but "soiled" in your minds

  • There's looking on the bright side and being totally fucking ignorant. HUGE difference.

  • I see your point, but in this case, i don't think she is totally clueless about Gitmo (as US so casually "renamed" it) and i agree that she didn't put in context her words and that she lacked tact in her choice of them, but then again, don't expect an answer of a higher level with all the nuances that comes with it, she is not the kind of person who will deliver it to you and you'll be again disappointed. Your knocking on the wrong door.

  • I aint knockin' on any door I don't have a chance with.

  • EXCUSE ME...We are call VENEZUELAN no VENEZUELIAN...THANK YOU!

  • landscapes and third, if you know Cuba, Guantanamo Bay is a military US base, but it is also a natural bay, which is magnificient in natural beauty and even though US military commited horrible acts, the place is still a beautiful place. I mean, i have LOTS of stereotypes about those pageants girls, but cut the slack too, put the things in context. And, if you honestly though she would give an objective opinion about politics and Guantanamo, sorry but you are maybe on par with her semi-stupidity

  • Look, YES, beauty pageant contestants aren't the brightest or the smartest women around, i conceid that to you. BUT, come on, are any of you dumb or what ? First, she was given an official tour so its not like they were saying "look this is the room were we torture people and this and that", absolutely not. Second, in the story she mixed her visit of differents places of Cuba including Guantanamo Bay, thats why she said those places are beautiful, which they truly are beautiful natural

  • He really does share the views of the rachael maddow show very closely

  • Auschwitz ia also the most beautiful place....

    OMG!

    Just another proof, how dumm "beauty queens" are.

  • send her to iraq

  • y is it that all his stories comes from teh racheal maddow show

  • LOL Miss Universe is a Ditz? wow who would have known? of course it's a fun place!!! people got tortured and murdered, they were depraved from sleep, had they're nails pulled out they were water-boarded... what's not to like?  Can you really blame her? she's hot but... then again she is Miss Universe... -3 IQ.

  • wow

  • I know i should be outraged, but all i can think is how hot Venezuelan women are. They win Miss Universe all the time.

  • It sounds like a Elementary school girl wrote it. XD

  • why should she fell bad about what has gone on there, she wasnt responcible for it, nor is she American

  • I doubt this story is remotely true, it is mostly closed off to the public. If it true, she never went close to the prisons

  • what a dumb bitch

  • Oh wow an airhead as Miss Universe go figure....She ain't my Miss Universe. Ditzy bitch.

  • If you think about it, it's ironic that the place whereso much torture and evil goes on is named something as paradise-sounding as Guantanamo. It sounds like a place to go vacation. "Dude I went waterboarding at Gitmo"

  • So she's stupid for being positive? M'kay.

  • Has to be an April Fools joke.

  • There's no reason to bust her on this. Just listen to this negative narrative. I'm sure she did have great hosts (our military), and did see a lot of natural beauty. She saw the glass half full. She was not there to be judgmental and negative or political. Not her job. If you want to nuke every place people were tortured or mistreated, half the planet would be gone. The only thing this reporter missed was being on the top floors of the World Trade Centers.

  • Cenks mad she didn't put the liberal biased spin on her trip. the whole Gitmo is hell thing. Fuck I'd rather be locked up at Gitmo than San Quienten. Think about that.

  • Liberal bias? Dude, jails don't dunk you head-first into water to fake-drown your ass. Sure, you have a chance of being raped in jail, but which would you have: Bubba riding the bull, so to speak, or you being fake-drowned? Pick your poison, or shut the hell up with this 'tough-act'.

  • Dude I would rather be fake drowned then being raped all day long dude. lmfao. Are you serious?

  • Dude, you just said you would love to go to a jail then Gitmo. Stop flip-flopping. And I didn't say they were ALL waterboarded, but the question is: What if you were? What then?

  • The whole thing has been blown out of proportion by a certain group of people.

  • Gitmo didn't do that to every single detainee like you would like to believe. That shit is over exaggerated.

  • It does not matter if they did it to 100 or 1 that 1 still a human being

  • Correct, Im just saying it's been blown out of proportion.

  • They had to otherwise Guantanamo will become like Abu Ghraib...well if is not already like that
