"Surprised" in Uzbekistan...? 'scuse ME...!

Taken by surprise by the sudden and unexpectedly bloody repression in Uzbekistan, the administration of President George W. Bush appears to be backing away from its initial, reflexive support for its authoritarian ally in the war against terrorism, Uzbek President Islam Karimov.

oh, gimme a break... we've been sending prisoners there under "extraordinary rendition," there have been repeated reports of torture, opression, and deaths, and you're friggin' SURPRISED...? i don't know what planet you guys live on but if I wasn't surprised, sitting here in reno goddam nevada, any surprise comin' outta the wh has to be grossly disingenuous...
