| Date | 03:11:00, December 01, 2005 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the POW Policy |
| Message | I don't think having POWs during wartime either makes us look bad or suggests we are a prison state. |

| Message | It's a matter of not sending trained soldiers who are told to kill us back their nation to do so again. This a foolish and irresponsible policy. I'd also prefer to look 'bad' (though I do not see how) in the eyes of the international community that look bad int he eyes of the people who very well could die right here in our state if we just let those who surrender re-join the fight. Are we a sucker-state? |

| Message | I don't believe we are a sucker-state. Whatever that means. I believe that even prisoners of war deserve rights, and prisons and camps are not the place for them. |
