I'm just suggesting that if Tullius is the hero you all claim him to be, then he should also be a good judge of character, as a General of the Imperial IV Legion. He, or the captain for that matter, had not a shred of proof I was with the Stormcloaks. He should have taken me into custody, and if he couldn't find evidence, then he should have let me go.

As I said before, why bother leaving Balgruuf to himself when you can take his assets to give to your army to make the fight more even? It's not nice, but it is logical, and it is war.

Even if the Empire didn't try to execute me I still would have gone with the Stormcloaks, because of their idealogies and my personal respect of Ulfric.

The Stormcloaks wouldn't have hired me to do that, because as Ralof said, if you go with him to Riverwood, it was a suprise attack, they didn't know it was coming, and Ulfric was going to be executed, so what good would a prisoner pretending not to be a Stormcloak do them?
