She has a lot of guilt over it. She didn't want the Illusive Man/Cerberus to have it either..but felt he would be better than the Shadow Broker, who I think was trying to get the body to give to the Collectors (if my memory serves me correctly).

Found this online:
The Shadow Broker has no reason to care about Shepard once he's dead, the deal with the collectors is just business. But Liara does care about Shepard and so ends up in conflict with SB because she wants to Shepard's body to end up with Cerberus.
So much like with Fist and Saren, when she sends Shepard's body to Cerberus she crosses the SB and not only damages his reputation but prevents him from completing a lucrative deal with the collectors. Thus, he is not very happy with Liara. At all.
And here's this on youtube:

This pic still makes me chuckle.
I heart Grunt.

In any case, I really hope we'll find out just who the Shadow Broker is, or what. I still think it's most likely either a group or an AI. But Liara's personal grievance with the broker also makes me suspect that it might be her 'father'.

I don't remember anything about her "father". Was he talked about in ME1?

Yeah that was the only reference, other than she doesn't know who "she" is.

FINALLY beat this game this weekend. Pretty awesome ending. I saved all of my people except the crew because I didn't feel like sending an escort. I may go back later and redo it.

Redo the last mission so you can get the achievement. 
I sent Tali, myself. Never used her. Just make sure whomever you send is loyal. It really won't change the rest of the battles - unless you send someone you would use to help you fight, ofcourse.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Only reason I call her the 'father' is because Benezia is the one who gave birth to Liara, IIRC.
That wasn't all the info; Liara also tells you that Benesia's lover left her out of shame.

Dark Horse builds upon Bioware's universe with an all-new adventure.
June 21, 2010
by Richard George LATEST IMAGES
Mass Effect fans have had a very, very good year. Starting with the release of the second part of Bioware's epic galactic trilogy and moving to expanded stories courtesy of Dark Horse comics, fans of Commander Shepard have had no shortage of material.
But what comes next? With the game out and the comic book, Mass Effect: Redemption, in stores and collected, would fans of Bioware's galactic epic be left sitting in the cold? Not quite. Dark Horse has teamed with Mass Effect game writer Mac Walters to craft another entry in the ME universe, this time in the form of an eight-page story. The best part about said story? IGN has it, in its entirety, for you - today.
"Dark Horse and the Bioware team are always looking for new ways to explore the Mass Effect universe, and an opportunity came up to do a smaller, 8-page story on their MySpace page," said writer Mac Walters. "We wanted to continue to explore the original comic book, Redemption, and find a snippet in there. The idea I had was that I had a moment [in Redemption] where Liara meets Aria on Omega, and Aria has a very negative reaction to a mention of the Collectors. And I thought that I didn't really mention why that is. It makes sense if you think about it, but maybe there's a story behind it. So that's the genesis of these 8 pages."
We asked Walters about the challenge of bringing Mass Effect's branching, expansive, contextual narrative to life in the pages of a comic book, a format that is decidedly less prone to user input.
"In this case what I'm doing is focusing on characters who Shepard, who you do control in the game, that he would run into and meet. Their reactions are usually along a certain path, so this allows us to take those characters and show the universe through their eyes. It's actually a lot of fun to walk about in this massive universe and spectacle that we've created through the eyes of someone other than Shepard."
This 8-page story marks Walters' first solo comic book writing credit. (The Redemption mini-series was co-written by John Jackson Miller.) Have these experiences collaborating with Dark Horse comics changed the way Walters approaches looking at crafting the game? Does he now see comic book possibilities as he works on the Mass Effect universe?
"I wouldn't say it changes my approach - we still make games the way we make games - but there are moments where I wish I had a little more space to tell a story. Or sometimes I have to pull back a little for whatever reason, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking this piece would make for a great comic book. Sometimes what happens is you create a character who's meant to just have a bit part, but once you get the visuals in and hear his voice, you think the character is a lot of fun. You'd like to see more of him. And where can you do that? I always think of the comic books when that happens."
No doubt the question on every Mass Effect fan's mind - are there more comic books on the horizon? Is Walters already talking with Dark Horse about what's next?
"Fans can definitely expect that should the opportunity arise, I'd be all over it. I've really enjoyed my time with Dark Horse. I've loved doing the comic book and I've learned a lot. I'd love to explore it a little more, learn a little more and provide an even better product the next time around."

What's better than the latest in high-tech armor? High-tech armor and a sniper rifle, of course! The Aegis Pack adds the M-29 Incisor sniper rifle and the Kestrel armor to Shepard's armor locker.
The Incisor sniper rifle is a burst-fire weapon that excels in destroying enemy shields.
The Kestrel armor comes in five pieces:
The Kestrel Helmet adds weapon damage, shield strength, and headshot damage.
The Kestrel Torso Sheath adds melee and weapon damage and shield strength.
Kestrel Arm Sheathing adds melee and weapon damage and shield strength.
Kestrel Shoulder Pieces adds shields and melee damage.
The Kestrel hip-mounted Power Pack ups shields and heavy weapon ammo capacity.
The Aegis Pack — for those times when overkill doesn't seem like enough.
Price:
Xbox 360: 160 MS Points
PC: 160 BioWare Points
