In the finale, he killed Keamy, setting off the bomb and when Locke questioned him on it his reply was 'so?'
What changed? Were there no longer innocents aboard [keeping in mind that Ben didn't know who all was and wasn't aboard]? Had Whidmore breaking the rules caused him to set prinicples aside? Was there some argument that Keamy was actually the one blowing up the boat, though Ben knew his actions were causing it?

The rules changed when his daughter was killed?
