Yah I wondered about that as well - once the attack happened, if it was me running things, I'd assume Sookie was compromised and was no longer useful as part of any covert operations against the Church. The first thing they should be doing is finding the traitor who is giving the enemy such detailed information, a task which Sookie should be able to help them much more effectively with.

I rather sympathize with the aims of the Church anyway, if not their motivations or methods. If there actually were vampires, and if they acted as portrayed in the series, I would want to bring them completely under human control and exterminate those who resisted as well. The vampires clearly consider themselves above human law, and that can't be reconciled with peacefully co-existing, especially as the vampires also make humans subject to their laws, an asymmetric power relationship that the humans should (and in reality, definitely would) be resisting and attempting to overturn.
