Thanks, I'll look into it, but my member of Congress is useless, so forgive me if I don't send them an email based on what I find :-)

Edit: I only found the island so far -- looks like they didn't renew the lease? That's on stripes, not Wikipedia, which only has an entry for the local area and says:

>In 1943, during World War II, Benito Mussolini was briefly held prisoner here.

What a wonderful piece of history, you're so blessed to live in a place that did such wonderful things -- sorry the US military may have literally shit it up. (For lack of better phrasing.)
