This is true but the key difference between black R&D and 9/11 type conspiracies is that the secret R&D is:
1) Legal
2) For a good cause
3) Creates no moral conflict for the participant
4) If you tell anyone you will go to jail.
9/11 and TWA 800 style conspiracies would depend on
1) A bunch of educated Americans (military, intel, and/or government) with good jobs and pensions.
2) Willing to commit mass murder.
3) For no clear reason.
4) None of whom ever feel guilty about it.
5) None of whom ever decide to request immunity in exchange for testimony.
Why on earth would they risk their job, pension, and life in prison...for what??? Dream on...
For example the TWA 800 Navy shootdown conspiracy would require all 600 crew-members of the cruiser involved to keep their mouths shut indefinately...including hundreds of disgruntled junior enlisted. Anyone who has ever served in the military knows how patently ridiculous that would be
