The Eye Enslavement to Sauron

Quote:
And I think that all men, be they Wraiths or no, are still susceptible to greed, flattery, lust, etc. The Nazgul were still men (although wraith-men) but as the Saruman quote from earlier on shows, they can still trust in people whom they perceive as allies. So if they can trust, can they not be greedy?
I think that their enslavement to Sauron would prevent that. The only reason why they "trusted" Saruman was because they thought that Sauron trusted him (or at least did not want to kill him at that moment).

Being enslaved to Sauron's will to the point that they could refuse the Gift of Men I think would eliminate such trivial matters as personal opinion, vanity, desire, etc. Their opinions would be the opinions of Sauron. They were not capable of deliberately doing anything against his interest.
