I had an uncle who told us for a long time that he ran an international trading company from an island called Diego Garcia. It was only with the first Gulf War that I found out that Diego Garcia was a military base and that there was no way Uncle Mike was running a trading company from there. He and his wife would be gone for months with only an extremely anonymous sounding US military P.O. Box to keep in touch. With the new war gearing up I decided to find out what Diego Garcia actually looked like. That picture to the left is from that website. The entire site reads as though it were written by a drill sergeant. Nice to find out about a place that's going to be so important to our liberation of Iraq.
