There is a hidden story here even more shocking than the original. This embarrassing admission has also brought the tiny island of Diego Garcia to the forefront of peoples attention since it is the UK territory used in the moving of prisoners
People lived on the island indigenously for generations, until British and American intelligence conspired to throw them off the island to make way for a huge military base. John Pilger investigated the whole story and put together an award winning documentary on the subject.
