I forgot to add, "... mass murder of 22 THOUSAND members of the college-educated class". In addition, between 320 thousand and one million Polish citizens were deported into the Soviet Union, with a large percentage of those deported dying in the Soviet gulags.
What FDR was worried about was, if the full scope of Soviet atrocities were made known, the American public might decide that maybe we should support the Germans AGAINST the Russians.

Again, I would tend to agree with not revealing it publicly during the war...but certainly I would have threatened to reveal it after the war, unless the Soviets made concessions regarding Eastern Europe.

And what will happen here to our libs at the university after their usefulness is no longer needed? What happened to the liberals in China?
