You, Mr. Limbaugh, are guilty. .

I listen to your hate filled radio show and all the spin you put on different issues. I tuned into your show today and heard you announce that Guantanamo Bay is fine. You spouted your talking points about how we were not treated to air conditioning when held as a P.O.W. in other countries. You espoused how lucky these people are with their wonderful meals. You even had the gall to play an interview stating how well these prisoners are being treated.

You state that we are pointing fingers and saying the happenings at Guantanamo are the reason everyone is up in arms when in reality it was one little 'erroneous article in Newsweek'. You said how it is all the fault of Newsweek and NOT the government.

You said that we could not possibly give all of these prisoners a lawyer because it would so tie up the system. And if we were to bring them over here it would tie up everything even more!

I will now respond to you, sir. Let us look at all of the evidence. Two human rights groups have said that mistreatment, if not torture, has been going on over at Guantanamo. The Newsweek article was not wrong. Instead, one of the Newsweek sources was wrong. The Newsweek article had many sources and the story itself is not in question. In fact, stories that have come from three sources (Newsweek, The Red Cross and Amnesty International) all have similar stories from different prisoner sources.

Are you now a conspiracy terrorist, Mr. Limbaugh? Are you trying to tell us that not only did the prisoners all get together and concoct a story to get the US government in trouble, but that Newsweek, The Red Cross and Amnesty International were all complicit in this conspiracy as well? This is the only way what you are saying could possibly be true. What common cause do Newsweek, The red Cross and Amnesty International have to try and bring down the US? Do you know how crazy this sounds, Mr. Limbaugh?

Let me explain something to you Mr.Limbaugh, it may be OK with you that these people are held without lawyers but what say do you have with whether a lawyer will take their case and clog up our system?
I would be glad to start a defense fund as I am sure the Iraqis would as well so that these people can get representation.

What you are essentially saying is that they are to be tried under our laws but none of the legal rules, that would benefit them, apply to them. I cry foul on the prisoner at Guantanamo who recently managed to get a lawyer and the lawyer was told that the prisoner would need to plead guilty to the charges but was not allowed to find out what the charges are.

Our legal system says that people are assumed innocent until proven guilty and I never noticed an asterisk next to this stating that it only applies when we say it applies. How can these people even prove they are innocent if they are not given the tools to do so? When they are not even told on what charges they are being held?

Mr. Limbaugh, do you also think that the people held at the Japanese Internment camps were also all guilty? That was another fine chapter in this nation's history.

Mr. Limbaugh, I can not go any further without giving you what you are giving to the human beings held at Guantanamo - a sentence without you being able to address the sentence in any way shape or form. I pronounce that you, Mr. Limbaugh, are traitorous and guilty of treason. I find that you know the truth but are only interested in perpetuating the propaganda that has been forced down the throats of this good country. You spread lies that enforces falsehoods and puts our country in jeopardy. You say no torture is going on to the detriment of this fine nation. Retribution is being sought since the representatives of the US are not treating these humans with dignity. Jihads are placed on our country and it's people. If you were a true patriot you would spread the truth and put an end to the reign of tyranny brought on by the Bush establishment. You could have stopped this, Mr. Limbaugh but you choose to put human lives in danger - lives of foreigners as well as US natives. This is treason, sir. You are found guilty and sentenced to hell in this lifetime and the next. May ghosts of people tortured to death haunt you in your sleep. May ghosts of innocent women and children visit you when you look in the mirror. May the deaths of people trying to protect their country come to rest squarely on your shoulders until the end of time.

You have been complicit in this governments effort to commit war atrocities and when this criminal government's reign is terminated, you are found to be guilty as the rest. You are a shame to this country and every hero who strives to defend it. How dare you defile our country. YOU ARE HEREBY FOUND GUILTY.
