Interesting too that you mentioned Stockholm Syndrome in regards to Leoben, when by the end of the episode I was starting to wonder about it in Starbuck.
Speculation was that Leoben developed Stockholm Syndrome from when he was captured and questioned by Starbuck, before being flushed out an airlock.
Hence his current unstable / twisted state of reality, where he's returning the favour.
Given the pain everytime he's killed, and that Starbuck's recycled him five times in four months, he must be getting more and more screwed.
Tori pointed out an interesting point last night. As the individual cylons spend more time amongst humans, they begin to grow emotionally. Sometimes in a 'bad' way, sometimes in a 'good' way. But certainly in a stronger sense than any of the 'pure' cylons 'untainted' by human contact.
I wonder how long until the cylons realise this, and start internal purges...
