Oh... I imagine something has happened to Michael, but I don't think it's what you believe. Why should Michael kill Ana just because she didn't kill faux-Henry? Just because by her admission that she wasn't a killer any more and thus not useful in getting back Walt? Ok, that would be the case if Michael felt he needed to create a situation that would cause them to attack 'the Others.'
I don't think you got what I believed! I think that Michael lied. I don't think he wants them to attack the Others at all. He didn't kill Ana because she was no longer useful. I think he killed her in order to free her.
But there is another possiblity. Go back to faux-Henry trying to kill Ana-Lucia. She was a wanted person by 'the Others.' Ana may not be the 'cold-blooded killer' that she was, but that need not preclude her from being a warrior. Thus she may have been useful, if even just in a training capacity.
But did Henry really want to kill her? He used violence to push her buttons just like he uses words to push Locke's ones. I don't think that Ana was a wanted person at all. When Ana killed the other Other, in the episode about the taillies, he told her that they only took good people with them.
Michael isn't under mind-control he wouldn't have said "sorry" otherwise. I think he did what he thought was the right thing to do. Of course it might be a mistake...So in a way yes he became an Other, or rather he embraced their vision.
