Saruman for or against Sauron?

Debatable still. Aragorn does not have the great power of Gandalf, even if he has a strong will. Denethor would have been a more realistic thought in the mind of the enemy, given that he was the Lord of Minas Tirith at the time of the war.

The point I was making was the fact that Saruman may have thought the Fellowship were upto something else, since they had refused to wield the Ring in the past. Saruman new the minds of the Wise better than many, unlike Sauron.
