I remember when I first brought this up few months ago, quoting John Pilger, I was copiously ridiculed!!

    When i first saw the documentary , I cried . especially when the Locals were told to leave and their pets got shot in front of them , and they were dumped in the dirtiest poorest slums of Mauritius , so the Marines can enjoy the sun of Diego garcia and have the beach and suntan and have wild parties and fill the island with their planes and army arsenal. shame on them.
    I remember also reading that the US was interested in another island close to Diego Garcia but they found that special rare turtles lived there and they did not want to disturb those turtles so they chose the chagossians

    TGIA, they can say what they like about Pilger, no one is even close to his stature or integrity.
