I don't think he just let her die. I really think there was an agreement between Ben and Widmore never to go after eachother's families, so Ben really thought Keamy was bluffing when he said he would kill Alex if ben didn't come outside. Ben was bluffing right back. Hence Ben in total shock saying "He changed the rules." If he knew Keamy was serious, I don't think he would have been so cavalier. Ben was devastated when Alex was shot.
I agree that Ben is going to me more forthcoming to the Losties with info about the island. He's gonna want to team up with them to survive Widmore's freighties, and then exact his revenge. For one thing, he knows that Sawyer is very familliar with desires for revenge. I bet it's just a matter of time before he tries to recruit Sawyer as another of his assassins. I'm also guessing that Sawyer is killed before he gets a chance to go back to civilization and start opening up that can o' wupa$$ for Ben, Sayid-style. That will not be a happy episode for me.
