You know, I wonder honestly if at least one or two Gjallarhorn soldiers won't at least spread the rumor about Idiok's actions. They're surely obliged to report him, otherwise they're breaking greater oaths to Gjallarhorn's principles. We've seen them do morally questionable things, but never until now have seen them breaking their own taboo. Interfering with elections is muddy and murky as the politics they're trying to affect, but taking out an "inhumane" weapon and using it repeatedly, and then ignoring surrender signals is very blatant war crimes, as is mentioned.
Unless Rustal intends to make Idiok a precedent for using Dainslaifs (or whatever they're called), which still would be taboo and highly illegal, I can't see him letting himself be seen with that fool for much longer. But I would still prefer a painful cockpit crushing for him. He deserves to go like Amida did.
Edit: Ein technically broke several taboos by his very existence, but he wasn't exactly brought out in front of the troops with full knowledge of what he was and is. Besides, they were still researching AV tech "until recently" according McGillis, so that sounds greyer than the Dains.
But it was a true Gundam moment, so I shall shed no tears anymore. Naze Turbine went down swinging, and making sure the optics would favor him and make Arianhrod Fleet look like utter rat bastards. Will also miss Amida a great deal, since she was Best Girl of IBO, just as much on the epic badass level as Naze, and a hot MS pilot. At the same time I give IBO some Gundam cred in the story pacing and setup. Orga didn't get to lead the cavalry, Mika-kun didn't launch, and the cavalry was going to be too late anyway. There were no cop-outs or miracle saves this time, just the cold equation of firepower versus guts. 
That's right girl, there is always someone better out there, and you lived to realize this instead of becoming another kill sticker on Amida's MS.
Sadly the writing was on the wall, but unlike the prior deaths and faux-deaths, I liked how this was handled because Naze and Amida knew they weren't coming out of this alive, and went out on their own terms. It gave a different atmosphere to the whole situation rather than the last couple deaths, and unlike the end of Season 1, there was no fake-out here.
