It's kind of hard to reverse-engineer nuclear slag for the purpose of getting a decisive edge above your foes. Which was the other purpose of stopping CB; if any of the other powers gets their hands upon a Gundam, you're screwed. Therefor, you must grab the gundam yourself, even as you destroy CB.

Just mentioning.

And of course, the trap made the point that they are taking advantage of CB willing to risk their own lives going into a trap to stop terrorists. Does that sound like noble behavior to you? They KNOW CB will stop terrorists at all costs.
Whether the Powers are noble or not really is irrelevant to whether Celestial Being was a threat to their sovereignty. You're falling into a logical fallacy, as well as assuming that two wrongs excuse unprovoked ideological attacks.

They don't.
