Line 3:
** In the government's defense, every single thing that's threatened Earth in the series have effectively been [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|caused by the heroes and the Stargate program]]
*** As Senator Kinsey lampshades, every single time they have an imminent invasion it just coincidentally occurs at the same time he's ready to shut down the program. Also it's understandable that he would have been more than a bit suspicious of Daniel's claims in the first season when you consider how unreliable the evidence is.
**** Except all they had to do was dial Daniel's address and see if they got a lock.
*** By ''his own'' reasoning re: "questionable timing" the hypothesis that Senator Kinsey is an enemy agent is at least as likely as the hypothesis that the entire Stargate Project is a fraud, and its a bit of a plot hole that no one brings this up. Particularly after the first time it turns out after the fact that the situation ''was'' genuinely threatening.
* When the humans get the technology to build starships, America keeps it to itself even after telling other nations about the Stargate program. America represents a minority of global manufacturing capacity. Spreading the knowledge would mean that Earth would have three or five times as many ships. Apparently, the viewers are supposed to agree that the extinction or enslavement of the human race is preferable to handing advanced technology over to dangerous evil and unstable nations like ... Britain and Canada.
** It got silly when there was a big deal made of finally revealing the Stargate program (well, aside from Russia, who had figured it out on their own). Apparently, all the Canadians who work out of Cheyenne Mountain for NORAD never noticed what was happening in the basement.
