I think it makes sense in that some of these people are probably friends with Helo and Athena and want to get the kid back, not to mention some people would just want to stick it to the Cylons that still want them all dead. Taking out their base of operations would be no small accomplishment if nothing else, and probably ensure the fleet more safety than if they just tried to keep running. Some probably have simply lost hope though. They're backs are more against the wall than ever. They have no home, nowhere to go, and the other Cylons will still hunt them down if given the chance. Might as well go out fighting and give the Galactica a proper send off.
