*** 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. |

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. |
