I agree it appears there is much more to Charles and Ben's past.. It sounds like they had an agreement but then Whitmore does not take the blame, so did he change the rules or did he never agree to anything so he could not change, break or anything else.. If Ben was under the impression that Alex was "safe" were they just illusions like he used on the island with Juliette.. Alex did say that Ben makes people think they are doing what they want but ultimatly they are doing what Ben wants them to do because he has made them think it was their idea in the first place.. Maybe this is what Ben has done with Charles in the past and that is why he thought Alex would not be killed..
Ok I'm not sure if that made any sense hopefully all these Lost fans can figure out what I mean here!
