I'm inclined to agree with ABM, but for slightly different reasons. What the humans (led by Lee and Roslin) were proposing was an attack that would have crippled the enemy that was chasing them through space hell bent on destroying them. Not an attack on people who might, one day, possibly, come back to pick a fight with them.
It was also an atack on a legitamate military target, the basestars and resurrection hubs. As far as we know, there is no such thing as civilian Cylons. There all part of the Cylon military machine. Military, IMO, is a fair target.

I remember that discussion we had in Italy... -- anyasbuttmonkey, 00:47:54 06/15/08 Sun [1]
About whether or not bombing coffee shops on Caprica was the right move on Anders' part - the topic of "civilian Cylons" came up there too!

The problem I had with that was the iconography of it, the bombing of *coffee shops*, which is a civillian space, even if there weren't any civillians in it at the time. It of course ended up forshadowing what happens on New Caprica, where Tigh wantes to use suicide bombers in the market, which would have inevitably killed civillians.

Even Anders (poor, sweet, dumb-as-a-bunch-of-really-stupid-rocks Anders) knew that was wrong... -- anyasbuttmonkey, 00:58:44 06/15/08 Sun [1]
But I (and Seema!) already expressed my willingness to do what Anders and his people did on Caprica :)

It would have been interesting to see though -- Esmerelda, 01:13:50 06/15/08 Sun [1]
If Anders and Cheif would have continued to refuse, or if they'd have eventually done it. I've also always wondered what would have happened to Doc Cottle? Who was patching cylons up. Would he have been shot as a collaborator eventually? I'd almost like to have seen them going after Cottle, just for the verbal smackdown that made them shuffle away in shame.
