If you're going to split hairs, you wouldn't want to send anything other than the Providence after the Freedom, but that's the fault of the Fukuda and Morosawa making Kira invincible. Nevertheless, my point still stands: Durandal planned ahead to deal with both Kira and Lacus and it's certainly plausible that he designed the Impulse to destroy the Freedom if it had to become a public matter.
