I'm in the "Rosalind doesn't know" camp. Malick could be a U.S. (or world) political kingmaker as well as a possible Hydra kingmaker. Roz might even think she's doing Coulson a favor by introducing him to a potential ally.

Although I do remember that conversation on the shore:

R: "We're not going to harvest him for parts if that's what you're worried about.  We're not Hydra."

C: "You say that now ..."

Also, since Malick evidently has military ties (NORAD) I wonder if he's the one who sent Will and co. through the Monolith. Or is there some other secret cult running around?

Finally, Lash seems like an irredeemable villiain, but I wonder if his psychosis is a side effect of the transition. Inhuman medicine might let him regain his sanity ... although it's hard to imagine Lash lying on a table with acupuncture needles, much less Lincoln agreeing to help.
