Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!


I'm a fan of Gomer Pyle and spent many a summer as a kid at my grandmother's house watching re-runs of the show. One of Gomer's most memorable catchphrases, was "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise," when he would learn of something that is naturally obvious to everybody else. So, when I learned that one of the freed Gitmo detainees was killed last night by Russian security forces for his Islamist terrorist activities in Chechnya, Gomer's good ol' catchphrase came to mind. The United States, does not lock up people in Gitmo for no reason. No, they are there because they are terrorists. But the true believers from the ACLU don't get it. They don't understand that man is fallen and that some folks just need to be locked up to protect the public.
