Honestly, "the NSA or some secret group with a PR agency created Bitcoin" sounds more like a conspiracy theory than "a lone programmer wanted to experiment with ideas of a peer-to-peer currency"... There are 2 simple reasons why Satoshi would want to remain anonymous: #1 He is estimated to own ~1 million BTC ($200 million); many thieves would capture/torture/murder someone for the chance to steal that amount! #2 Sometimes people just want anonymity by default, like you who posts anonymously for no apparent reason ;)
