| Date | 01:29:42, December 18, 2007 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the Right to Confidential Correspondence |
| Message | "An extreme situation, in this case, would be one in which the person's guilt is very likely but it cannot be proven by available evidence and there is strong cause for belief that the necessary evidence will be available in private correspondence. In other words, it means the justice department can only read people's letters to determine guilt if conviction is impossible by all other means and there is strong cause, either circumstantial or otherwise, to believe that the person in question is guilty." -Carlos Juan Andreas Sanchez, Revolutionary Socialist Spokesman on Justice |
