| Message | Limiting the power of an intelligence agency is, again, more likely to do harm to Sekowo than good. If our intelligence agency must request permission from bureaucrats before making moves that ensure the safety of our people, we put that very safety at risk. |
| Date | 08:45:04, September 04, 2008 CET | From | Sekowo Green Party | To | Debating the DSP.261.2631 |
| Message | If we are sending intelligence officers illegally into other countries, then surely that's a prompt for other countries to do the same to us? We should ensure the safety of our citizens, but we should do so in a manner that will not give the wrong impression to other countries. |

| Message | Other countries already do this to us. Not sending our own agents won't stop (most of) them. |
