Or they don't need selfish self-righteous idiots like Anderson exposing their dirty laundry to the public
Well, it's exposed, so it's a little too late, isn't it? Better get rid of it before it starts to smell.
Cerberus and the Alliance share the same common goal. I find it easier to believe if Cerberus proves useful to the Alliance, that the Alliance will secretly approve of them and public deenounce them as a convienent scapegoat
Cerberus wants dominance. The Alliance wants expansion and stability. There is a difference between setting up new colonies and trying to make yourself King of the Galaxy.
Why wouldn't Cerberus try to cover their tracks, they prefer to work in the shadows.
Their is nothing wrong with PR but it doesn't mean the reasons behind them are sincere
And this track-covering/PR is precisely why going to the turians wasn't the dumbest idea ever. Go through the Alliance, and Cerberus knows you're coming. Go through the turians, and you get to make nice with the guys with the dreadnoughts.
The folks funding Cerberus are the same ones funding the Alliance.
The Alliance was already laying low with Cerberus until Anderson made it public.
That's because only a very few people control the wealth. And you can lay as low as you want--it's over once you get caught.
Turians won't share the evidence until after the investigation is complete. And the Turians will parade around the galaxy about how they exposed the corrupt Alliance
And the corrupt people within the Alliance will be forced from power. This is a good thing.
Furthermore, please stop acting like the whole Alliance is in bed with Cerberus. That's like saying, "Congressman Whatever gave money to terrorists under the table, so America supports terrorists!" No. Congressman Whatever supports terrorists and America won't be re-electing his ass next term.
likely adt its also likely powerful organizations like Terra Firma will climb to the top and gather huge support from Alliance citizens.
Plus Cerberus can always start a new
Because Terra Firma will
totally gain public favor once it's out that they've been funding terrorists. </sarcasm>
I believe your seeing things too black and white.
This is bad for Cerberus, the Alliance, humanity's view on the Turians, Organized effort against the Reaper invasion, and this could potentially ignite a war with the Alliance and Turians.
Its not good guys stop bad guys everything will be Ok now
This is bad solely for Cerberus and the people who support it. Cerberus is not the same as the Alliance and sure as hell isn't humanity, despite what TIM might have told you. Sorry for repeating myself here.
Anyway, it's no more bad for the turians than it would be bad for the French if they caught a terrorist from the UK. Only hyper-nationalists would be upset. The rest of the UK would be mildly embarassed at worst and happy a dangerous criminal is locked up at best.
And no, I don't see in black and white. I just see Cerberus as ultimately dangerous and a black mark on the Alliance. It's definitely not going to be sunshine and sugarplums now that they've been exposed--obviously they're going to be a helluva thorn in Shepard's side later--but their fate is pretty much sealed. Cerberus is screwed.
