Re: Re: The future of the U.S. presence on Diego Garcia
I do not share your optimism.
It has been found as a matter of fact, that the U.S. government has undertaken illegal adbductions on the territory of and with the complicity of several EU member States, including the UK.
Moreover, it is known that the U.S. have carried out the murder of British and other EU citizens and other unlawful operations both in Britain and in other EU territories. It particular, it is generally suspected and believed that the U.S. government was recently responsible for the murder of a senior British Police officer who had been conducting an investigation of covert rendition flights operated by the U.S. from UK airfields.
The atrocities at Abu Grahib prison and the masacre at Fallujah, and the countless other war crimes committed by the U.S. government in Iraq, were obviously carried out with the complicity of the British government. If they were not, and the UK authorities were ignorant of their so-called ally's activities, this proves my point.
The U.S. authorities regard their base on Diego Garcia as part of the territory of the United States and it is highly doubtful whether they would submit to inspection by the troops of any other country or that if they did, such inspections would be effective. Since the UK and U.S. are allies, it is highly unlikely that the UK would object to anything that the U.S. were doing at Diego Garcia. After all, the UK government did little to prevent some of its own citizens from being detained and tortured at the Guantanamo concentration camp.
U.S. aircraft and warships are known to carry nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and thye are known to use the Diego Garcia base as a staging point. Also, it is generally believed that a secret prison exists on Diego Garcia and since it is common knowledge that the U.S. military authorities routinely torture their prisoners, there is a reasonable basis for believing that torture would be practised at any such detention facility on Diego Garcia.
The point is also that neither the British nor the U.S. authorities have any lawful right to occupy Diego Garcia. The facilities there need to be vacated forthwith and handed over to an independent. democracticallt elected government elected by the people of the Chagos Islands themselves.
