| Message | To DU Spokesman, Mr. Camel: If we treated captured Prisoners of War with dignity and respect, then other nations will treat OUR troops with the same dignity and respect if they are captured. In essence, this bill will legalize TORTURE of prisoners of war. Airlene Savage, Internal Affairs Minister |

| Message | Honourable Minister Savage, This law is far from legalizing torture. It's just to treat the prisoners of war according OUR laws, like every other convict. And we NEVER torture our prisoners. Prisoners of war shouldn't be treated worse than the rest of the prisoners, but this law is to ensure that they won't be treated better. They'll only be treated THE SAME than the rest of the militar Rutanian convicts. Butt Camel, DU Defence responsible. |
