As for protocol to keep things classified, well that apparently wasn't the protocol. We know everything that happened -- they've told us the whole story. They didn't keep it classified, it's all out there. There is nothing else to it.
And I know it's fun to bring in the Illuminati and space aliens and whatnot but it's not exactly a wild theory to think the government might not always tell the truth. Recent events certainly can attest to that. If we apply Occam's Razor to, say, the Iraq war, the simplest explanation is that they aren't above lying about some pretty serious things.

Not disagreeing with you there. It's very likely and probable that the government and certain members of it lie about serious things from time to time. It makes sense and it's simple. Just pointing out that the most 'out there' thoeries have very little probability of actually being true and that the further away from simplicity you get the more unlikely the explaination and the more loose ends that need explaining. It's also funny that with each degree from the commonly held story the less and less percentage of people believe it.
Why is the ultimate question. Explanations for why can be from "they were too tunnel visioned in dealing with Saddam and the war on terror in the lead-up that they ended up invading the country without proper due dilligence to formulate reasonable cause so they lied about it to America to cover their own asses to get re-elected in 2004 or to not be charged with war crimes" to "America needs Iraqi oil and thus whatever America wants it takes" to "9/11 was an event that the Bush administration took advantage of to 'settle the score with Saddam' and provide more oil" to "9/11 was a staged/allowed event by the Bush administration to provide political and monetary capital to invade Iraq for Oil and to 'Settle the score with Saddam'" to "9/11 was a staged event by the Bush administration to provide the political and monetary capital to invade Iraq, Iran, and all other axis of evil countries" to continue asserting their superiority over the world" to "9/11 was a staged event by the Illuminati/Bildeburg Group/FreeMasons/Space Aliens/World Bankers who have it's members on staff in the Bush Administration to provide wide-spread hysteria in order to conduct wars and events in many places in the world to usher in a New World Order"
I'm sure many amature gumshoes can find an assortment of 'evidence' to build a case for any of the above explanations. All things being equal some of those are more likely to have happened than others. Also notice the farther you get from mainstream beliefs the more 'connections' you need to build up the theory, but yet the more interesting and captivating they become.
