In this instance, the fact lacks a basis and it is more likely the regurgitation of the bile spit out by trade associations and business groups that want to insulate themselves from accepting the consequences of their own wrongdoing.
Operation Keelhaul was FDR's and Eisenhower's magnificent gift to Stalin and to his grim, gulag empire; it was a culmination of friendship, fidelity, and accord; and it was a deed that for its sheer infamy is unmatched in the history of our nation and its armed forces.
Keelhaul verifies that our leaders have the capability of repatriating millions of anti-Communists when it suits them.

Thus I would presume that since the major military operations in Afghanistan are being run by the US Marines and Army Airborne, it's logical for other friendly and allied forces to interface with them.
But any observer would have to be dull as ditchwater to think that Washington is somehow looking forward to exploiting the legal rights of these militants only to have the world community put us on a moral par with the likes of Taliban.
Now Canadian Forces are operating in Afghanistan and, I'm certain quite competently, not as peacekeepeers but as peacemakers.

Sometimes in history, events of enormous brutality involving large numbers of people can be successfully kept secret from the general public for long periods of time.
For example, in the case of Operation Keelhaul following World War II, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children were forcibly sent back to the Soviet Union by the United States and British governments to a certain death or enslavement in labor camps.
There they were subjected to surgical operations, including amputations, without anesthesia, injected with radioactive isotopes, biowarfare microorganism, and mind-control drugs.

 Lord Aldington Obituary
During World War II Lord Aldington (then known by his given name, Toby Low) was responsible for overseeing the repatriation of Soviet citizens in Austria to the USSR as called for in the agreement forged by the Allies at Yalta.
Unfortunately, a significant number of Soviet citizens did not want to return to the USSR and had to be forcibly repatriated in what was termed Operation Keelhaul (in fact, forced had to be used against Cossacks who refused to return to the USSR).
Tolstoy labeled Aldington a war criminal saying that "he arranged the perpetration of a major war crime in the full knowledge that the most barbarous and dishonorable aspects of his operations were throughout disapproved and unauthorized by the higher command, and in the full knowledge that a savage fate awaited those he was repatriating."
