The unswearing was basically just an indirect preparation for the possible later betrayal, not already a betrayal itself. The same applies to Verin gathering info on the BA, DF and Forsaken with the intention to possibly betray it to the Lightside some time in the future. The BA Oath just forbids a direct betrayal, IMO.

That and any oath on the Oath Rod relies very heavily on the swearer's interpretation of the oath.

True. There's a scene where Cadsuane is told about Aiel in the city and she says "I hadn't noticed."

There's reason to believe that if any AS removed the Oaths from themselves, it's Cadsuane. *NM*
