You don't believe that Hax would have attempted to kill Bert and Roland to quiet them? To make sure he wasn't found out? In a gunslinger's mind, I imagine, a traitor didn't deserve a chance to say his side of the story.

This whole part kinda reminds me of our current war on terror. We are going for the cronies, the pawns, but letting the major players walk away. Why.

Why didn't the gunslingers of old want to immediately take on Farson? Why wait?

It doesn't make sense.
I guess I didn't see it this way. I don't believe Steven was being up front with Roland. He isn't a gunslinger so I don't think Steven would let him in on their plans.
