| Message | We can not allow for the destruction of our intelligence agency. The agency in question is crucial to our national security along with our many interests on Terra. We can't stop the Worker's Party from moving forward with this bill, but we shall vote against it. |
| Date | 04:59:19, March 12, 2011 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Extinction of the intelligence agency |

| Message | Intelligence Agencies are nothing more than secret polices! We do not have the right to impose our interests on Terra, on other countries. Look at what you are saying! To combat treason? Who will decide what is treason? Intelligence Agencies have a huge potential to become extremely oppressive. Should a people's movement start building up, the IA will take out it's leader and call him a ''traitor'' or a ''terrorrist''. The IA will simply become a weapon of oppression. |

| Message | No it won't it if is government owned and operated, it is sure not to get out of hand. We need intelligence agencies to stop terrorist attacks. How would like it if another nation is planning a terrorist attack on Aloria, but no, we have no idea about it because Aloria is too much of a goody too shoes and too Politically Correct to have an intelligence agency. With all your conspiracy theories that they're nothing more than secret police has just made me believe in mu argument even further. |

| Message | Conspiracy theories? Us? Your party is the one defending that we can be attacked at any moment by terrorrists! Being owned and operated by the government doesn't mean it won't get out of hand. Private citizens might bribe officials for example. But it seems there is no reasoning with you. |
