Diego Garcia didn't get much effect from the tsunami. I am in the navy and stationed here. The plantation side of the island was covered in water but the plantation is closed during the week and no one was there during the tsunami. The lagoon (mouth of the horse shoe) has been extremely shallow for the last few days. No, U.S has nothing to hide as far as the effects of the tsunami on Diego Garcia; however because the island is restricted to civilians except for DG21 contractors and DOD civilian employees it is impossible for any reporters to gain access to the island. Naval News media center (D.C) stationed on Diego do not report on island affairs. I personally have been on just about every stretch of the island and there is only one main road. It is unlikely to be any secret bunker of missing detainees or even a CIA interrogating facility. The island is small and would be extremely difficult to hide detainees.
