I know scriptwriters are taking cues from modern events, but I can't believe that with teh last contigent of known humans alive, that Tighe (and Adama and Roslin) would condone suicide bombing.

Roslin didn't condone it. She flipped out on Tighe over it. It's not been made clear that Adama even knows it was occuring, but I can't imagine he won't be pissed off. I'm rather looking forward to that discussion between Adama and Tighe actually. Tighe is the only one in authority condoning it, and he's pretty well screwed up from weeks of imprisonment and torture.

That's kind of the point I think, how otherwise "normal" people can be pushed to the breaking point and into doing things they wouldn't otherwise consider. Not to mention Tighe has always been a little close to the edge anyway. Look how fast he turned into a dictator when Adama was shot.

You say that as if it was a bad thing. I wouldn't use the term dictator though, more establishing order.

Tighe is a ground force general,but bad fleet captain.
