Actually, a better question is this: Ben Shoots Locke, leaves him for dead
in a ditch of rotted corpses. Why does Locke not want to kill Ben?
Instead
he kills Naomi. Locke must be crazy since he has no problem with killing
Naomi. Logic dictates that Locke should want Ben dead as much as anyone,
and now that he has killed there is nothing to prevent the killing of Ben,
except the Lost writing staff. There is no logical reason for Locke not
to
want to kill Ben-unless Locke now is a soldier of the unseen Jason, and
was
told by Jason not to touch Ben. Locke is definitely a follower, not a
leader. But, he is privy to information not disclosed to viewers so
before
writing Locke off I will need to see the rest of the episodes. I hope the
writing staff have the outline for the entire series completed because it
will be interesting to see how Hurley, who goes with Locke, not Jack, gets
off the island. <Johnny1000@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
