Thank you Frog - I am glad that I am not alone on this. I always thought it was strange that Danielle would turn Ben over to the Losties with the statement,"He will lie, he will lie for a long time." What? That seemed to me like he had lied to her, and for a long time.... Has Ben been lying to Danielle about giving Alex back to her? just like he has lied to Juliet about going home - he keeps coming up with excuses to keep them on the island. There seems to be history with Rousseau, too. And she shot him with an arrow, but not a kill shot - which I thought she could have done if she wanted, no, she made it so he needed a doctor - what a great in into the Losties camp! Ben probably made her do it as a way to get into the camp and fulfill Roussea's obligation(to get Alex back).
