Do you mean how many know the entire scheme or how many played roles in which their actions did not require them to know anything more than was necessary for them to complete what appeared to them as a totally normal thing to do? Any of the military who may have been involved need only be told they are performing a part in a drill. They drill all the time. It's a normal thing for them. It would be extremely easy to set up a drill for covert operations. Covert operations are drilled all the time. One such drill...very easily done...would be to task a group of 10 operatives for a training mission simulating the placement of explosives in a large building in order to completely eradicate it. The drill presupposes the building will not be one with access hindered for political reasons. It would be in a country where the operatives could move about freely. Possible reason could be to destroy a building that contains extremely sensitive US records in an area that had just fallen into "enemy" hands. An embassy or building at a US overseas military installation. Very reasonable. Any number of seemingly innocent reasons could be used. So the 10 operatives are told they must practice placing explosives unobserved. The site for their "practice" or "training" is chosen. They want to make it as real as possible so they go covert into the WTC. Marvin Bush, as board member and Marvin's cousin, as CEO of the security company operating at the WTC clear the way for the operatives to succeed in the exercise. Over one month, 10 people carrying in 40 lbs twice per day of what THEY THINK is harmless mock-ups of explosives and devices places nearly 1/2 ton of material per day. The entire tower is rigged in a month. The guy who gives the team their orders says...ok...let's make sure we can really do this with perfect military precision. Do the other tower. The guy giving the orders was, of course, given the order to tell the team they would do it again. The chain of this order, all the way up, wouldn't have to lead to anybody who might know the whole story. If it does, it need only be the one person who initiated the order. This could be the head of an agency through which the drill is being conducted. Or even that guy could have received his orders from higher up. Rumsfeld is the top of all military chain of command. The special ops units in the military and who knows how many other covert ops in multiple departments do so many drills and exercises of hundreds and hundreds of different scenarios and purposes nothing in any drill could be considered abnormal. It's their job. So...how large could the conspiracy be and still be kept secret? How large was the Manhatten Project? The true size of the actual conspiracy...where a group of people are all involved with planning and CONSPIRING...needn't be more than a dozen people. That's extremely small in comparison to the Manhatten Project.
