  In the last several days I have heard comments like the follwowing:
"The runways at Diego Garcia have been extended to support larger
aircraft" and "... B-52 launched from Diego Garcia"
  I am confused. I thought Diego Garcia was a very small base that was
used as a listening post.  What exactly is Diego Garcia?
thanks, in advance
