I'm not sure what your point is, though. As a reader it doesn't matter what I think of her - whether I trust her or not. The important thing is that we do have an omniscient view of the series. We know that from the information available to us, Semirhage was telling the truth. You're looking at her statement as a possible way to sow dissent among Rand's people, but I think it was RJ using 'AOL knowledge' to diagnose Rand's mental condition. Cadsuane once said that mad males hear voices, but Semirhage arrived with the proper diagnosis, from a Restorer or former Restorer turned totally evil, however you want to put it.

Even so, I'm wondering what message you're trying to get across to me. I almost feel as if you're trying to tell me not to trust Semirhage because it will cause me not to trust Rand, and the Light will lose. I don't doubt that Rand's allies see him differently because of her statement and that her statement will cause trouble, but we have the advantage of seeing the situation objectively. I'm not Nynaeve or Alivia... I know exactly what's happening with Rand, and I can judge Semirhage's words accurately. The Forsaken are a combination of evil and incredible knowledge... it doesn't always have to be a hybrid of both - sometimes you can get a knowledge boost about what's happening in the series if you analyze their words.
