Would because they viewed involvement as a thorn in their side, or would it be out of fear that she'd rebel What would they gain from it? Or would they see it as an act of mercy, to remove the memory of the trauma she went through at her apparent "death".

Something about the way you worded the sentence also got me thinking:  We've already been told that Ironwood has honest intentions, but we know nothing about his superiors. Remember how Cinder criticized Atlas for having one governing body involved in everything (bringing the Hunters into their military).
