Um... wasn't Latras plan to use the Choedan Kal in some never defined way? The Choedan Kals whose access keys were made in areas that fell to the Shadow ere they were completed and whose research teams were heavily infiltrated by the Forsaken without the Aes Sedai every knowing it? Exactly what did Latra Posae contribute apart from ensuring that no women were affected by the Taint? Bearing in mind that (admittedly mad) LTT still thinks the reason the DOs counterstrike was possible was due to the fact there were no women available to link.

Egwene is committed to stopping something SHE'S decided is unthinkable, which would be fine if Jordan hadn't made unmistakably clear it's going to happen wtf the Watcher of the Seals believes, Dreams or has inscribed on tablets from Mt. Horeb. If all the other saidar channelers want to get on that road to nowhere they certainly may, but they'll end up the same place. Egwene can line up every channeler of BOTH sexes and extort her childhood sweetheart with every army in Randland (she apparently intends to do precisely the latter) but it's going to happen whether she likes it or not. What in her Dream indicates otherwise? Perhaps she didn't mention it because all it would do is tell Rand she means to face him down with every available ally she can find, that she apparently even trusts a faceless Seanchan woman (almost certainly Tuon) more than him. Is there anything in the Dream to indicate she wins that confrontation, or just that it happens...?
