I think you're confusing the sequence of events. Richard gave Locke
Sawyer's dossier two days before the events in the brig. The *next*
day (one day before events in the brig), Ben took off with the Others
and left Locke alone with Cooper, who was tied to the pillar. Not in
a bag. Here's the transcript:
[Yesterday: The scene flashes back to Locke waking up on the ground
to the sound of the Others breaking camp. He gets up and finds Ben]
Locke: Ben. What's going on?
Ben: We're moving.
Locke: Moving? Where are we going?
Ben: We are not moving anywhere, John. You are going to stay behind.
You both are going to stay behind.
Locke: What? You're not taking him?
[Locke points to Anthony chained to a column in the distance]
Ben: He's your mess, John. Why would we clean it up.
Locke: Ben, if you're trying to put me in my place or embarrass me...
Ben: Where would you get a ridiculous idea like that?
Locke: Well, you can't leave me. After everything you can't just...
Ben: Don't tell me what I can't do, John.
Locke: But I thought I was...special.
Ben: Well, everyone makes mistakes. We're leaving now. We'll leave a
trail, one you can track. And John, unless you're carrying your
father's body on your back, don't bother.
[He walks away and joins the Others who are all leaving. The scene
then ****fts to Locke sitting outside the brig door, deep in thought.
The scene ****fts to Sawyer and Anthony inside the brig]
So Locke got Cooper to the ****p by himself. The easiest and most
logical way for him to do that would've been to have Cooper walk under
his own power, with no blindfold or hood on, so he could see where he
was going. There was no reason for Locke to prevent Cooper from
knowing where he was going, especially since Locke figured Cooper
wouldn't live to see another day. Before Locke went out looking for
Sawyer, he would've made sure Cooper was gagged and hooded, so Sawyer
would buy the lie that Ben was the prisoner.

There was nothing strange about what Cooper said. People talk that
way all the time. You know, like this:
"One minute I was pu****ng her in her stroller, and the next minute I
was walking her down the aisle."
"One day I was crying as my mom left me at kindergarten, and the next
day I was graduating from Harvard."
There was no lapse in memory, especially since Cooper had just
described being given the IV and then waking up in the room at the
barracks. You're just choosing to make that line about the Black
Rock, even though it doesn't make sense. Locke had a hard enough time
carrying Cooper's dead body in that bag after Sawyer killed him; it
would've been nearly impossible to carry Cooper still alive and
struggling and yelling. Then we would need to believe that Cooper
fell asleep while tied up in the brig, and woke to find Locke standing
over him, and that he conveniently forgot all about the barracks room
and the time at the pillar, but remembered in detail the accident and
the IV.
