It is about time. He was screwed and stabbed in the back by the communists in the American and British governments at the time.
Shameful, shameful, shameful.
I've read that the same thing happened in France: The Communists took the occasion of the Allied victory to finger as "collaborators" their rivals for power. In the case of France, those included mostly Catholic leaders and organizers, who of course had good reason to be both anti-Nazi and anti-Communist. (As opposed to the Communists, who sided with the Nazis until the Soviets were invaded by the Nazis in 1940.)
At the same time, the Communists in the US government made sure the Nationalists in China got no weapons and the Maoists got whatever they needed.
And before that, in the Spanish Civil War, much of the killing was actually Communist forces killing Anarchists troops—their rivals for power. When you have a Communist for an ally, you get a two-fer. A friend now, an enemy soon enough.
