Yes, because spending the first hour of the game harping on you about why Cerberus is on Mars == not a tool. Racist, I don't see it, tool? Yes, yes I do. If I could shoot her on the elevator on Mars, I would. If I could shoot her in the Tram Control/Tram bay, I would. If I could shoot her on Horizon, I would. I didn't like the idea of being shoehorned into working for Cerberus in 2 either, but when she had a chance to help me keep the mission clean of Cerberus taint, she walked away. How come we can't say: She's dead, after Eva bot bangs her on the shuttle, and just leave her?
How is someone that doesn't go with the pack, go with what they believe in, a tool? Ashley questioned Shepard when none other did. She questioned Shepard when s/he needed to be questioned. Ashley didn't just follow Shepard blindly.
If you want to shoot her, then those are your personal feelings because you don't like her, wether it's because she questioned Shepard or from any other reason. In my opinion, Shepard deserved the mistrust. In my opinon, Shepard deserved to get hit by Ashley. Even with saving the galaxy, Shepard worked for the wrong people. Terrorists. Ashley has the right to doubt Shepard after that. If not her, then who will? If not for people like Ashley (or Kaidan, btw) the galaxy will already be under Cerberus's rule. Or at least very close to it. Cerberus themselves knew that with Shepard's help, they can go way up in the galaxy.
In just what context did Shepard need to be questioned, especially after James makes it clear that there was no way Shepard had any contact with Cerberus after he turns himself in. This is an important detail, there was no pitched battle in which Shepard was captured, he turned himself in, after delaying yet another Reaper plot, all while the Alliance/Council sat on their asses doing nothing, even with what Ashley saw at Horizon. Where does stopping the Collectors from getting the entire colony suddenly shift to working for the Collectors. The fact is, based on the events of ME 2, barring Arrival DLC, which she doesn't have security clearance for most likely, where does she get the feeling that she needs to question Shepard? Exactly what role did the Alliance or Council play in stopping the threat? Oh, that's right, she went to investigate Cerberus for working with the Collectors? The events on Horizon were, of course, staged for her benefit?
Isn't it funny that she will automatically support Udina, who, for political expedience, will disregard the events around Sovereign, despite the fact that Ash could have very well been standing there listening to Vigil? In one of my playthroughs, this is exactly what happened. She will automatically trust him over Shepard, despite knowing that Udina did nothing to attempt to drive the council towards being ready for what's coming, and will, more to the point, suspect that, despite what she knows to be true historically, believe that Cerberus is working for the Collectors/Reapers.
There is a point where one's actions should speak louder than another's suspicions, and Ash and Kaidan both go to the extreme, well past that point. Since I don't play ME 2 as a Cerberus Boot Licker, I turn over the intel from one of the missions to the Alliance. She's got clearance enough to know that. She is standing right there when you talk to both Anderson and Hackett, and yet questions their orders. So does she think that Shepard's indoctrinated them? Is this where she's getting her "mistrust" of Shepard? Or, is she just being pigheaded, and resentful that she didn't get command of the Normandy? Because frankly, yes, she does come across as just that petty all through Mars, and the only reason it doesn't carry on early is because she's in the hospital, incapable of pursuing her "suspicions".
