Ernie addresses this point:
"The chief argument against conspiracy theories is always that it would
take too many people in on it, and somebody's sure to squeal. But look
at the U.S. security apparatus, these guys are WASPs, Mormons, Skull and
bones, secretive by nature. Trained, sometimes since birth, never to run
off at the mouth. If discipline exists anywhere, it's among them. So
of course it's possible." BE, 325.
I don't buy this. There are not that many people ruthless enough to
commit a crime like that IMO, Skull and Bones or not. For controlled
demolition, furthermore, you would need "mechanics" -- demolition
experts and the persons actually placing explosives.
