As it was an act of mass murder that was then used as an excuse to invade another country. If you get found out, you are looking at charges of treason and mass murder, Aiding and abetting terrorist actions.
Thats several death penalties itself, do you honestly think those involved in the conspiracy would go for it?
Then you have not only the leaders but also the workmen who positioned and possibly detinated the explosives, you reckon all the people involved in the planning and execution of this could cope with the guilt? I suppose you could say that Silverstein bought everyones silence?
They may have carried out the work but do you suppose that someone in the whole scheme wouldnt have come forward by now?

They might all be dead.
As for the rest of your post, aside from whoever was responsible for setting the explosives, the others are guilty of doing nothing. There are reports the intelligence community had wind of what was coming, yet didn't do anything.
Saw "The Special Relationship" on BBC2 the other night. Bit near the end with Clinton advising Blair he doesn't want to get into bed with the new Bush administration, saying (more or less) they play dirty.
