The "if this conspiracy were real, somebody would have leaked it by now" argument gets repeated all the time, but it's bogus. If correct, it would mean there were no covert ops. And we know that's not so.
The reason why "conspiracy theories" sound silly is that the term itself is reserved for possibilities the speaker doesn't believe in [edit: changed that wording to make it more neutral]. Well-documented conspiracies are called "history".
