Furture Ben and Sayid
So Sayid has just blown Michael's cover to the captain. Assuming the captian didn't know this already Sayid has effectively blown Ben's plans to pieces, Now, we can assume, the Freighties will be able to fix the boat and eventually reach the island, so Sayid can also be accused of unknowingly sentencing everyone on the island to death if the Freighties do manage to capture Ben. We know, due to flashforwards, that some people do manage to survive in the furture (the Oceanic 6 plus Ben), but whether anyone else does is still uncertain.
This is probably a big leap but in the future we know Sayid works for Ben. My theory is that he's working for Ben in the future because of the results of his revealing Michael as a spy - thereby ruining the lives of everyone on the island - possibly ending their lives. I suspect Sayid' actions would have unintentionally led to catastrophic results - remember "If you make that call every living thing on this island will die", possibly as soon as the boat arrives? We know Ben manipulated Michael into working for him so maybe he does the same to Sayid sometime after? Could this be Sayid's form of pennace?
I am going to take a further strech and make another assumption. In the future both Ben and Sayid were speaking about someone under the name of "the economist", I think this will have been Charles Widmore. Ben - and Sayid if my guesses are correct - will have reason to want to get back at him.
I just thought I'd put my ideas out there so others can give there veiws.
