However, I cannot see how unswearing the Dark Oath is not a direct betrayal, knowing what the BA Hunters plan to ask, and probably what they would seek to gain from further interrogation (other BA identities, plots, etc.)
It's been a long time since I read that scene, but seems to me they didn't exactly leave her a choice in the matter.

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*
