Again, the word traitor only falls in a first emotional reaction - things like that happen to human beings. The actual Horizon report confirms Shepard's version of the story, a report most likely written by the VS, saying that Shepard is in fact not a traitor, but working against the Collectors.
Why are people unable to pick up those nuances and distiguish between the emotional response and the actual opinion of the VS?
The Alliance and Anderson, despite wanting to trust Shepard still had some doubts about his dealings with Cerberus. The VS helped to eradicate those doubts.

Judging from the demo we saw of Shepard escaping Earth (which, could change mind you) it would appear that the VS rescues you. I don't really know how much more loyal they can be. They had all the right in the galaxy to not trust Shepard on Horizon, then come to the conclusion (later) that Shepard and Cerberus are not behind the abductions and are in fact trying to stop them. Then they end up saving Shepards life. Sort of fitting when you look at it like Shepard saving the VS on Horizon, the VS then saves Shepard on Earth.
The problem with saying that Shepard saved hundreds or even thousands of lives on Horizon is that the player knows it, but what does the VS know? They know that colonies are disappearing, and they suspect Cerberus. The collectors show up and take half the colony, only to be beaten back. It turns out to be Shepard and Cerberus. Well.. what's to say that Cerberus is not working in league with the collector? (from the POV of the VS). This could all be a play by Cerberus to build trust against the alliance.
In the terminus systems the Alliance is not welcome. In Alliance space, Cerberus is not welcome. Cerberus could merely be trying to turn the terminus against the Alliance. I'm glad the VS did not just assume "oh shepard, you're back let's make it like old times again". Hell, even Tali did not trust Shepard at first and asked him to prove it was really him. And she had issues with him being with Cerberus. The only difference is that it wasn't a Quarian colony that got hit. Her team was merely after Veetor.
I'd still like to know what the VS was doing on Horizon and what top secret work they've been running down since Shep's disappearance. That information can shed a lot of light on the situation. Perhaps the alliance found another beacon and they've been looking at how to possible get another cipher made. But now that Shepard is back, perhaps they'll take him to the beacon to decipher it.

you took one sentance, and put it back up....why can't some people read the whole thought, and see that it's a scenario that shep could easily come to that conclusion...

noted, btw....i share your belief that after the events of ME2, there wouldn't be the animosity (i guess depending on how the situation with horizon and the suicide mission play out) i was just adding to the thread that i think this would be a neat dynamic...elektrego wrote...

This is quite funny, because you are doing, what you accuse them off- thowing a tantrum and make a decision on how you are going to handle them based on emotions.
I backed my statement up with quotes from the game, 'real' facts.
Anderson calls Shepard a hero - the Shepard he knew - and rightfully so, that doesn't mean, he is suspicious of his current actions, because the circumstances are quite extraordinary, the are not sure, if that is indeed the Shepard they knew. They are investigating Cerberus, but since the rumors are, that Shepard is with Cerberus now, it includes him.
"We didn't know about you at the time and I wouldn't have told you, if I did!
What if The Illusive Man was manipulating you, lying to you."
That doesn't sound like complete trust to me.
You can do whatever you want in your game and keep ignoring the facts, but that doesn't make you right.
The End.

lovely, the quote game. OK let's do it
Anderson defends shepard to the council by standing up to them as shepard is accused to work for cerberus
"I am on this council too and I won't let this whitewash continue". If he did not trust shepard he could have him in custody until his investigation was over. Obviously he trust at the very least Shepard to do the right thing. Let us not forget that Anderson also has dealings with Cerberus as per LOTSB (watch the vids). His "investigation" could be a facade but I'm not going there. Still there is a huge difference between "I'm investigating shepard because he is with Cerberus" and "I am investigating Cerberus but Shepard needs to remain oblivious of it otherwise our main investigation would be compromised"
Let's move on to the fact that the one accusing shepard of being insane is the turian coincillor.....oh......HELLO? The turian who airquotes "ah yes....reapers, the race of sentient machines allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed that claim". The turian who is on Shepard's *** through TWO games. Still, giving someone SPECTRE status is nothing light. You do not give that to someone you DO NOT trust fully.
"Hey I think you are a terrorist, but sure, I'll let you be a cop, here's your badge and your gun"
you can use ingame quotes as much as you want but other situations and circumstances prove that shepard is given a degree of trust one way or another. Ignoring that is downright blind or childish. Also, yeah, I hold a grudge......but I was not the one who ended up being wrong ultimately was I?
so yes it will be my pleasure to see Ash humbled...or stuck on the normandy, either or

I really wonder what compels people
to overlook the fact that by horizon Shepard can be very well backed up
by the council, Anderson himself (who pretty much tells the alliance to
get off your back) and hackett (who does the same thing) and to take
the whole cerberus situation out this context

Well, the VS was commanded to come pick you up by Anderson, so the VS is really just following the order of their superior officer.
