Any chance the Others were unwillingly brought to the island just like the Losties, OR joined Dharma but have now been forsaken/abandoned, and their goal now is escape from the island? It explains "We're the good guys," but it would mean Gale is lying to Michael. Also, Others didn't seem shocked by the "EMP", which implies knowledge of what it is, which implies that they'd WANT it to happen if they're trying to get off the island, which is weird that they wouldn't have stopped the button from being pushed long ago.

I guess I just shot down my own theory.
