We know that killing Cally would have been the right choice from a military perspective, but I'm not convinced Adama would do it, given the opportunity. I don't think he wouldn't do it either. I'm just not sure either way.
The most recent situation I can think of that comes close was on the algae planet, where I think we can all agree he wouldn't have nuked the planet, given that Lee and Kara were on it. So I guess by comparison, Cally is far less important and he could have gone through with it.
Consider, though, that the fallout would be too great. Given Cally getting killed, what are the chances the ship's crew would continue to work? He already threatened Tyrol so I don't think a cover-up could fool any of the crew. Also, don't you think he's learned a thing or two about what not to do from Admiral Cain? She did something quite similar to what y'all are proposing.
