WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. military service members may have been imprisoned and died in Soviet forced-labor camps during the 20th century, according to a Pentagon report to be released Friday.

Researchers for the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs have been investigating unconfirmed reports of Americans who were held prisoner in the so-called gulags.

"I personally would be comfortable saying that the number is in the hundreds," said Norman Kass, executive secretary of the commission's U.S. section.

1. Of course one needs to remember that...

...Soviet personel and advisors were on the opposite side of the U.S. in many of those conflicts, so this begs the question of how many Soviet "personel" were in our prisons, or "gulags", if you like...?
