Yep, this is why he knew Jacob had put one over him. Jacob told Locke what to do, but now 'how' to do it..Ben knew that this was basically Jacob sending him down the river. Or dessert, if you will.
ONe wonders whether Widmore was ever on the island and made to turn the wheel? After all..who was leader before Ben? Who initiated the purge? In my mind it would be quite clever of the writers to make that person Widmore.
Would also explain why he claims the island was his, and that Ben "stole" it from him..
