Why did Norad lie to the 9/11 comission? Even the commission couldn't figure out why.?

I have read with great interest your question and review. If what you say is true, it points to a shadow government, because of the repeated pattern of mis-information of the facts that skew the truth. I would not go as far as a Conspiracy, but I will say that this could be one example of a delayed and uncoordinated reaction to a lapse in National Security. The Government has liability, to some degree like an insurance company whose charge is to protect the American public, to a greater degree for this same reason, neither will be "wrong". Let's face it, when it comes to plain speak, the government is not accountable to the public in language as well as action. When you look at the big picture, all the Hurricanes that hit our shores, the 911 tragedy, Walter Reed Hospital debacle, the decision to go to Iraq as a result of 911, this tells us, we are duly entitled to lip service. I wouldn't want my worse enemy to have to depend on the government for a straight answer or a timely accurate response.
