By that turn of reason, almost everything the government does is a conspiracy. For example, does the secretary for some big-wig general intend everything the general may or may not order in the next week, when he / she types up an executive memorandum for the general? Obviously not. He / she intends only a broad outcome, based on a basic motive. I dare say that even in the highest eschalons of government, nobody knows everything that is happening at every minute regarding our government.
So "save lives, respect rights, protect America" can certainly be valid ground-motives for the actions engaged in by the "uninitiated" members of the government (assuming some conspiracy theory were true), and the conspiratorial subset wouldn't need to try to hide their motives at all (assuming they were in line with the general ground-motives above)--they would only have to disagree with and-or conceal their beliefs about the best courses of action to reach the goals informed by those motives.
