I would, and I think you would too. I say that because IMHO most will follow their conscience, and then attribute a rationale of loyalty to the action.
That is, if you more or less agree with the behavior, then you'll remain loyal to the individual. If you disagree, then you are more likely to see that the best action is guided by the laws of the State, even though personal politics or something else was the deciding factor. My guess is that Lamo had reasons beyond those given. But that's just a guess.
