Egwene had no part in the brutal testing that the other Sisters used - apparently they got mad when Nynaeve broke the rules, and began to make the test more difficult because they were angry.
We don't actually know who is responsible for each torment. All we have are fragments, and some of those fragments lay the blame for the most painful at Egwene's feet. And even if what you say is completely truthful – evidently it wasn't out of line enough for virtuous Egwene or any of her partisans to object at the time. What does she say? "I couldn't be seen favoring you, but perhaps I should have put a stop to it." Yeah, I bet, you piece of shit.all indications from their conversation was that Nynaeve understood why Egwene did so.
This is beside the point. One can understand perfectly well why someone does something and at the same time consider it inexcusable.

Egwene, a poor leader?

Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician.

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ...

Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM*

Except Rand wouldn't go to the WT with Elaida in charge, without having to fight

Exactly how loyal do you think Nynaeve and Elayne are?

And the most painful torments were caused by Egwene

She has the same power base as any Amyrlin - the Aes Sedai, the artisans, Guards & citizens of TV

I would say that in the grand scheme of things, Rand's had good to balance out the bad.

I think comparing Egwene to McCain is asking for trouble on several fronts.
