The difference is that with a smokescreen you are doing A while hiding behind B. With this they are not so much hiding what they are doing so much as why they are doing it.

I don't see that. This isn't a LITERAL smokescreen dimnos its not like you have to be trying to hide physical objects ( ). Motivations and other things can be hidden as well, and I would argue that in war/politics and sometimes even regular smokescreens hiding why you're doing something is at least as important as what you're hiding.
