Heh.
That would definitely not be Diego Garcia.
Exactly. Very early on, in the terror scenarios tossed about, a hypothetical Kamikaze attack on facilities there, it was assumed such a "big bogie" failing to answer demands to identify itself would be "splashed," probably before it came within a specific range.
The interesting question was whether the powers would own up, and how soon, and if a delay in owning up would effect a later decision in owning up... the longer the wait, etc.
It seemed likely, but a lot of the particulars ranged from the sensitive to the tin-foil-hat, and events moved on.
Of course, one reason for not owning up would be serving the interests of actors in the region whose purpose might have been to determine such information, even if DG is officially dormant.
Heh-heh.
