| Message | This is a disgrace, we need to know what nations are really planning this is stupid we are an open target, I agree that the old law does need changing but not as radically, I feel that we need to monitor and that the PM and the cabinet have to give permission to the Secret Service. |
| Date | 16:51:18, March 05, 2006 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Spy Bill |
| Message | Supported as a countermeasure. Ideally we'd like to eliminate our intelligence agency, we don't need a bunch of warmongers causing trouble in other countries turning sentiments against Lodamun. |

| Date | 15:03:47, March 06, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian League | To | Debating the Spy Bill |
| Message | Covert operations help in accomplishing our national goals and prevent war in general. We are the richest nation in terra and are susceptible to attack. Oppose strongly. |
| Date | 20:39:16, March 06, 2006 CET | From | Independent Freedom Party | To | Debating the Spy Bill |
| Message | We're only susceptible to attack when we provoke other nations by interfering. Switzerland (a fictitious nation I heard about in mommas stories) was a rich nation that stayed that way by minding its OWN business. |
| Date | 22:40:24, March 06, 2006 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Spy Bill |
| Message | We're not the richest nation in Terra, we just have the strongest currency. |
