| Message | Article 4 is inhumane and openly invites the mistreatment of Hulstrian prisoners of war. The FAP should be ashamed to have introduced such a blatantly dangerous proposal. |

| Message | Prisoners of war are exactly that, prisoners of WAR. What is internationally-accepted standards exactly? Giving them a house to stay in, give them all the free ice-cream they want? Giving them more benefits and freedoms than our own citizens to follow the rules of "internationally-accepted standards"? There is no treaty on the books in this country that bans torture or mistreatment of POWs, those standards are superflous. |
| Date | 02:45:47, May 21, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Militarist Society Act |
| Message | The FAP is improperly using the inactivity of the FKP to push these proposals into law. |
