BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I lived at camp justice for at least 4 months a year for the last four years. There aren't any prisoners there!! just us!!

[antoinecassar]

How about giving Diego García back to the Chagos people, who since the 1960s have been living as exiled pariahs on Mauritius?

Of course, another option would be to do as the Brits did themselves - for example, deport the entire population of Great Britain to Greenland, and lease Great Britain, free of charge, to the Chagos people and other brutally dispossessed islanders across the globe. Then maybe, just maybe, the British government would learn their lesson...

[joneselius]

If only more people know about the Chaggosians. The British AND American collusion to deny their existence was as transparent as it was illegal and inhumane, they lost a court case TWICE and used an archaic Queens rubber stamp to ignore it, just another example of their useless ideals.

[joneselius]

I should clarify, it's called an royal prerogative.

And it was used twice. Politicians DON'T care.

[joneselius]

and American, they're just as much a part of this, so much for moral integrity.

Not much at DG except coconut crabs and drunk sailors on bicycles. I was there from 1994-1995 and still talk to several that have been stationed there up to 2006. The buildings in the film at 1:42-1:45 are the barracks and the main facilities (gym, galley, shops, etc). If there were prisoners on the island, more would have come out and spoken about it than some general that retired 10 years ago. If prisoners were there, it was probably to refuel on a military transport.

Interesting to see U.S. servicemen whining about how awful it is to be stationed in Diego Garcia......

I guess it's okay that the U.S. and British governments conspired to steal Diego Garcia from the original inhabitants and force them to the Seychelles to live the rest of their lives in abject poverty and misery....and these same governments profess themselves to be the worlds' leading examples of "Democracy"?

Quit your fucking whining and remember the rightful inhabitants of Diego Garcia!

Al Jazeera, could you please go to Diego Garcia and find out if this secret prison really exists? And if it does, could you please take some footage of it and try to interview the prisoners there? I think that would make a great report.

[enemigosocultos]

I believe it. I just read in the New York Times that the CIA admitted using British land and air space to transport suspect detainees and they do mention Diego Garcia which Condi Rice apologized for missinforming British officials. Just type Diego Garcia in the search button of the NYT.

This is ludicris, i just returned from DG i was stationed on one of the prepositioning ships there for four months and the only people being held against their will on DG are the military types who would rather be home

[bobalot120]

There's a documentary by the legendary John Pilger called 'Stealing a Nation' on the topic of the military use of Diego Garcia and the surrounding Chagos islands. How they got there in the first place wasn't a pretty story. Worth seeing.

[aaweis22]

thanks for that i'l giv it a try

[BIGMEL1981]

if this exists ... how many more are there ?

[sugarpuddin88]

While in the US Armed forces, that is the last place you want to be stationed!

A rock with nothing to do!

[DWol001]

Excellent story - would it if you do an indepth story on rendention. Maybe the US Congress will get their heads out of the sand and do something about this. All this is doing is destroying our image abroad and if our troops get captured the same type treatment will be melted out to them.

[sugarpuddin88]

I'm not sure what the US Congress would do - they are currently in violation to UN Council, International Law.. over their own lack of merit in Guantanamo Bay

The US Congress, and Nancy Pelosi, are either paid-off or impotent -- Unable to even consider the Bush-Cheney autocracy for indictment on war crimes

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

Here's a documentary about the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program which you might be interested in. What's even more interesting is that the Italian government is prosecuting the CIA for it:
