The ONLY reason to keep anything classified is to protect intelligence assets.

Agreed. This is our country. Those that run it on behalf of us need to justify to us their decisions, not vice versa. We the owners should not feel that we must justify our actions. Their actions by default should be transparent unless as you said, to protect individual assets. Corruption is a major problem, and only sunlight and exposure is a solution.
