"He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat..."
In an US Weekly interview, Damon Lindelof was asked what it means that the Others are good guys, and he replied with a question: "Who has killed more people since they went to the island, our guys or The Others?" For your comparison pleasure a list of "bad things" done on the Island, excluding simple prisoner-taking (subsequent actions are included). Debates over what is self-defense and what is acceptable in times of war will probably discussed extensively on the show. Please preserve a "simple" version of this list, and take expansions, elaborations and explanations to a separate section or article.
