I see the Council here, with maybe two exceptions, as a bunch of pettifogging little time-servers, who with no more Colonies to govern, feel the loss of real political power. Although Adama saved them all, their hostility at the military for their defeat, caused in actuality by politicians like themselves and NOT Warriors, bubbles up in stupid, idiotic measures like this. They are more suited to govern, Cylon pursuit or not. That they were not even MORE stupid is in itself a miracle!
Maybe they should have let the Alliance keep them?
