Well, I think chapter 4 makes it pretty clear that neither side is grabbing on to the Idiot Ball here.
Jack &co are simply not grokking that they're dealing with a community, a separate culture with experience at, well, a lot of the things he's been doing the past few years. He's still in "These are normal ordinary kids who've had something horrible done to them", and tripping over Charlie's death really hard.
Kiriteam, on the other hand, are dealing with personal paranoia about Big Government Conspiracies - quite legitimately, really - and their one source that should be able to bridge the gap - Klein - is being actively obstructive of it.
