An eye for an eye is a dangerous game, and in the end you'll both end up blind.

Forget the specific subject on this. Command cannot function properly when things like this occur. It lets others know that you are okay with them acting in a similar manner every time they disagree with orders. It is not like the president ordered Adama to do it. She approved the use of biological weapons. I mean - you at least have a personal conversation with Helo on this and don't drop it cold.
I thought it would have been interesting to have the Cylons get infected and Baltar save them. I mean it seemed like the doc thought it was a pretty simple disease to fix. Baltar should have been able to muddle through it.
Another thing I was thinking about is what kind of bounty they got from the dead Basestar and all the dead Raiders. I mean I would think that if they got Slash to fly (and execute hyperspace jumps etc.), they might have been able to get the Basestar to do the same. I would think they could hang out there for as much time as they would like since the Cylons are afraid they will catch it anyway. I mean Basestars have nukes and lots of guns. Even if they could not commandeer the ship (which would have been a cool and doable thing I think) I would suspect that they would be able to get some good stuff.
Remember that mining episode? The ships likely run off the same fuel. Plus the skin jobs have to eat right? Finally there has to be hella good recon to be had. I mean a keen understanding of how a Basestar is set up should make you better at killing them no? Even if they only got a couple of those locater / transponder things it would have been handy. So many interesting threads totally wasted.
