Ben could easily have armed that bomb and wiped out the freighties - the fact that he didn't speaks volumes and one would hope that all the 'anti-Ben' fervour will subside as his character is clearly on a compass direction which will ultimately palatable for even the most earnest of character dissectors.

Sorry, but it hasn't been confirmed that Widmore is the one that is lying yet has it? It's still very much in the air whether Widmore or Ben are telling the truth; and there's many that believe it's Widmore as well as many who believe it's Ben. And as far as killing innocents it certainly seems as though, and you yourself has alluded to this, that Ben sent Danielle and Karl to their deaths. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Danielle and Karl were still innocent, unless, of course, you count being in love with someone who actually isn't your daughter as a right to lose your innocence.
