Alright, you want to talk about inconsistencies?  Daredevil has ALWAYS (until
now) been portrayed as an individual who is very concerned with the morality
of his actions.  Yet now, he is protecting someone, Glorianna, who he KNOWS
is protecting terrorists, helping them escape from police, helping them
to kill again.  THAT's inconsistancy.  Regardless of their motives, it's
a known fact that they bomb innocent people.  Who cares about their
motives after that?
   Maybe they will expand on this in future issues, showing Daredevil 
recognize that he's only protecting her instead of telling the police
about her because he (loves?) her, and how he deals with that conflict.
