Oh, while I wouldn't say I approve of Jack I approve of the show not trying to sell him to me as fearless-leader-who-always-does-the-right-thing. And yes, letting him make the choice to let Ben die passive-aggressively is way more interesting than if he had done the right thing at once and saved Ben? (Also, of course as with Sayid there's the irony that they both now contributed to making Ben the man he'll be.)
