As a child Helana Kane abandoned her sister in the first Cylon war under some half-assed pretext of survival of the fittest. During the second Cylon war she spent the lives of her soldiers like nickels and dimes trying to show the Cylons how fearless they were, after explicitly stating that she would not just throw away the lives of her soldiers to prove a point; and executing anyone who attempted to do the right thing including her X-O by standing up to her and refusing to follow orders.

Essentially, her entire tenure as Admiral after the surprise Cylon attack was one big laundry list of crimes against humanity. The very same humanity that she purported to save.
