Well Ben managed to get Juliet onto Faraday and Charlotte pretty quickly. And now he's not tied up in the basement anymore, he could quite easily get hold of a walkie talkie or something. I think he's been planning it from the begining, which is why he was always so keen for Danielle to take Alex away.
although i'm with you on the silencers, but maybe the Others ambushed the freighties after they landed
yeah, i go mad for conspiracy theories
