Rousseau stole Aaron (the immorality of which is not in question) precisely because she believed what she was saying. Again, this doesn't make her trustworthy - it just means that there's a precedent for her telling the truth.

She lied..I'm saying that she lied. I don't know how else to say it without coming across snarky, but she lied, Murg I mean, she clearly isn't completely truthful in that episode is she? She not only explicitly lies but she manipulates the situation in order to snatch a child from it's mother - that's also deception..

Well brad has vindicated me a couple of posts above..clearly there are those who do trust Rousseau afterall

Just tell me what she said that wasn't true apart from 'Sayid needs Charlie': that's all I'm asking.

I believe her 100%.
One of the best characters on the Island.

That she is (was), but her lies have me doubting her tales

Well, I can say that I think she was a great character in season 1, but she's kinda gone down hill since then. I don't think the creators have ultilised her that well - especially in season 3.

The thing is, the more they reveal the more it becomes less intriguing now. That's also the case with Rousseau. She was quite a mystery in season 1 and the more time passed the more she became "a costumed" if I can say it like that.
Later she was like a guide nothing else. But still... One of my top faves!

Yeah, once she became more integrated, she lost that air of mystique somewhat. She's not quite parody, but at times I think she's dangerously close! Overall, she's still a decent character I guess.
