Regarding Waking to Another Sky:
1) Personally, I'm rather fond of stories in which the characters are operating under less information than the readers, though they are harder to execute properly.
2) I do agree Jack really hasn't been handling this all that well on a social level because he was told these people have been in comas, not fighting for their lives and forming a society. Having been informed of the reality this chapter, what he does from here out will be more of a proper basis for whether criticism is warranted.
3) I'm not sure what sensible action would be in this case. SG-1 can't tell all these people they've been modified with alien tech. They can't tell them the whole thing was designed as a training program for exploring alien worlds. Telling them that elements of the US government and DoD were involved would stir up an already unstable situation. They can't just release these people into the world because they have been modified with alien tech, and those elements of the US government who were behind this would probably just love to snatch up some of these new super-soldiers.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
