Could he have chosen Miles on Ben’s orders?

In the flashforward showing Hurley in the mental hospital near the beginning of Season 4, a strange black man asks him about “the others”. This man continues to appear throughout the season, questioning many of the Oceanic 6 about the whereabouts of “the rest of them” and of the island. We also this same man in a flashback with Naomi, before the 4-man crew is sent to the island. While it appears he is working for Witmore, he may actually be working for Ben.
There are several pieces of evidence to support this theory. First, it appears that Miles could be an other. I believe that the producers have said that Miles is not there for the same reasons as the other 3 people. Also, in the 3.2 million dollars conversation with Ben (see the top-rated theory for more information), it seems that he could be an other. Recall the conversation between the black man and Naomi. I believe that she asked him why this team was chosen. The black man could easily have been in charge of the selection of the team. This would mean that he was working for Witmore. However, he has chosen a “strange team”. Could he have chosen Miles on Ben’s orders? Maybe in the future, he asks the Oceanic 6 about the location of the others to find where the island has been moved to. While I doubt he’ll have a major role, (he is going to have a main role in the new show, Fringe), he may play an important part in the future. Please expand if you have any evidence in favor of or against the double agent.

The possible double agent in question also appeared as an orderly to Locke when he was first pushed out of the window and paralized. Why would widmore have him trailng Locke years before he crashed on the island?maybe he is a spy for ben…
That’s right, Nickee, I forgot about that part. He knew about the plane because he told Locke to go to Australia. Also, this is the theory I want people to comment in. The others were complete accidents, my computer is a bit slow and the theories didn’t show up so I reposted them on accident. Also, why did this go to the trollish section? I’ve planned this theory for about a week or so.
Could everyone please make a post saying why you vote the way you do? I still need to develop this theory a lot more and it would really help.
Its ridiculous when good theories get tossed into the trollish section. Try reposting once more on the main page.I think you’re on to something! Ill give you a +1
