Aragorn looked into the Stone of Orthanc with the intention of encountering Sauron,and frightening him into beginning his war prematurely.And he only looked that one time until after the War.Denethor's motives were less pure. Gandalf and Thorongil (Aragorn) had much influence over Denethor's father,Ecthelion II.Denethor was jealous of Thorongil and disliked Gandalf.He wanted to use the Palantír to keep an eye on them,and to gather information.
Judging from his words to Gandalf
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> "Yea,for though the Stones be lost they say,still the lords of Gondor have keener sight than lesser men,and many messages come to them."<hr></blockquote>
he seems quite proud of his actions.
