While I find Tigh to be one of the more interesting characters on the show, he's very much a flawed individual (much like Baltar). While he may have led the resistance, he lost his soul in doing so when he ordered suicide bombings of civilian targets. Surely Adama would never have gone along with such extreme measures if he had been around.

I also find it amusing that you view Tigh as a hero. Somehow I doubt you see the men who authorize and carry out suicide bombers in Iraq or Israel in the same light as you view Tigh. Just goes to show that one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
