           I saw that part but didn't realize it was Racetrack.

           I would think Adama (and the rest of those backing him) wouldn't be   
   so trusting, but like you said, maybe he felt he had no choice but to   
   forgive if not forget. But I guess if they could trust the Cylons, maybe   
   trusting humans was easier.
