I've heard of it, Diego Garcia supports a good majority of our B-52 Nuke Task Force. It was mainly designed to reach the Soviet Union fairly quickly from a direction other than from Europe or Alaska/Japan. It was actually one of the major staging areas for B-52s during the Viet-Nam war. A lot of this stuff was done in the name of detente; as far as the indigs and their political situation go, I know very little about it and can't commentate on that, but I do know why we wanted Diego Garcia, hope that helps.
