| Message | This bill strikes us as another version of the archaic saying "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth." In conflicts Solentia should take the moral high ground, not stoop to the level of our enemies. We cannot support this. -Grace S. Lough United Liberal Caucus Chancellor |
| Date | 04:17:05, September 15, 2011 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Prisoners of War bill of 3182. |
| Message | We wonder why the Liberals would claim to want the moral high ground, yet has voiced their support for a bill allowing torture. I would respectfully ask them to support the current justice bill being debated only if the torture article is removed. Ryan Schroeder Leader, Labour Party |
