There's no denying that Baltar has made some pretty huge mistakes. However, there's a big difference in knowingly setting up the colonies for destruction just for some ass, and being used as a means to an end. I think it's been made quite clear over the years how incredibly guilty Baltar feels about the part he unknowingly played in that. You make some valid observations and of course you're entitled to dislike Baltar if that's the way you see it, I don't mean to disregard your entire post. But as for your first point, it's not fair to make it seem as though he knew what was happening and didn't care. Yes, he gave Six access to things he shouldn't have for ass, but he certainly didn't know what it would lead to.
