My reply:  Perhaps, it's merely the other option.  They trusted Sirius with their life. Implications in the book suggest that it is possible that Dumbledore suspected Sirius, case in point why he originally offered to be their secret keeper in the first place.  He knew someone close to the Potters was giving them information.  If Dumbledore would have gone to James and acted at all suspicious about Sirius, James would have probably gone balistic on him.  James trusted Sirius over all his other friends, regardless of what we try to assume from the books they were best friends and loved eachother very dearly.  And let's not forget that they were right in trusting Sirius, sure he made a major mistake.  But he was loyal to them and did not falter no matter what.
