Yeah, I mean, we have to figure that there need to be more twists in order to keep the plot going past the first season.
If he wasn't turned, then how long do we go on before Carrie has to concede he wasn't? And then where do you go from there? End of show.
If he was turned, how long can he elude Carrie without undermining her abilities as an agent? And once she gets proof and he's executed for treason, then what? Either end of show or you lose Damian Lewis as a star.
It seems like there's far more mileage in a story where they are on opposite sides, but eventually end up on the same side. Then they can keep catching other terrorists for years to come. :)
