Yeah ok, now I get it - the Mockingbird that died *originally* did not turn into a Skrull - ergo why you have a problem with it.
Regarding her return though - as I recall it, the reason they brought back Mockingbird was apparently because either Jim McCann who wrote the "New Avengers: The Reunion" mini-series (which shows Mockingbird adjusting to the new MU) or one of the editors involved in the planning of Secret Invasion pushed for her return, since they were big fans, and saw this as their shot at doing it in a big, spectacular way. So that part may not actually have been on Bendis himself.
I'll see if I can find the relevant quote - it was either on Wordballoon with McCann or Bendis, or in one of the interviews for the Reunion miniseries.
