Given that the only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead, how on earth do these people think the word won't get out on something requiring the silence of hundreds if not thousands of people? (

Strongly disagree with this. May be true among your peers, but not within the intelligence community. Many people have held many secrets under penalty of death if revealed. Some of these secrets have been revealed only after decades of silence by those who were involved. Ex: Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara revealed only in 1995 that the Gulf of Tonkin incident of August 1964 that supposedly provoked the U.S. into war with North Vietnam never happened. Just another propaganda piece to fool the public. George W. Bush later used the propaganda of "weapons of mass destruction" to lie the U.S. into war with Iraq. A lot of lies are accepted as truth until revealed much later. Many people are good at keeping secrets.
