¨Uzbekistan formally evicted the United States yesterday from a military base that has served as a hub for combat and humanitarian missions to Afghanistan ¨
is that near Iran?

From your source article:

Uzbekistan has been widely viewed as an important test for the Bush administration -- and whether the anti-terrorism efforts or promotion of democracy takes priority. "We all knew basically that if we really wanted to keep access to the base, the way to do it was to shut up about democracy and turn a blind eye to the refugees," said the senior official, on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive diplomacy. "We could have saved the base if we had wanted."

Is BushCo growing a conscience?

Maybe it's within range of attack from Iran so they're moving it? :-S

It is near to Iran, yes. It is to the north of Afghanistan. It is run by a murderous dictator, Islam Karimov, who is the new best friend of the West in the region.
