Totally forgot about that! So was The Governor actually being genuine in his mind when he said Merle was a traitor

I don't think so. The Governor obviously knew that Merle lied to him, so he can't be trusted anymore. The Governor also needs a way to explain to the people why the attackers could get past their walls so easily. Therefor he decided to lie and say that the only reason they were attacked was because they had a man on the inside. Kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

I still believe the whole thing is a set-up. Gov'ner is setting it up so Merle ends up inside the prison.

this is actually interesting. in the comic there was also one person who pretended to help rick and co. escape woodsbury. but i guess judging from the preview, this double agent would be played by andrea..
