OK, this is bugging me, continuity error or nugget of info to be pursued?
Earlier in this season, Ben set up an elaborate test for Michael to see if he would sacrifice himself to push a button and blow up the ship. But he didn't blow it up, taking pains to make clear to Michael that there were 'innocents' aboard and he never killed innocents.
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?
