Its a fact that during the Korean War the evil communists imprisoned Americans in the gulags until their death, but I think by the 80's we had excellent intel on them. We would have probably sighted this from our birds and we also had direct intelligence from a large undersea "bug" we placed on their main communciation line running under the Oktosk Sea (Sp?).

Hard to tell when our government found out about this. If it became public knowledge during the 50's or 60's it's hard to tell what the public reaction in the US would have been and what would have happened.
Could you imagine being in-the-know about this in the Pentagon or CIA, knowing for a fact that our men were being held captive in a Soviet gulag and that the only way to rescue them was to risk WWIII? I imagine knowing some of these things turned at least a few men into alcoholics.
