There was a rumor, which I think was validated, that a little boy on a bicycle was bringing a telegram up the hill to warn of the attack on Pearl Harbor. He rode his little heart out, but just missed getting there on time.
1) Why give the message to a boy? Can’t a man ride faster?
2) It is thought that FDR actually knew the attack was coming, but slowed the order to send the message.
Given all we’ve learned with Q, FDR actually letting the attack happen because he wanted war is not much of a stretch.
I read a book about the history of the telegram and boy going up the hill years ago (I’ve always entertained “conspiracy” theories), but I can’t remember the name of it.

Absolutely. We had broken Japanese codes and knew about the oncoming attack.
This provoked attack by Japan was allowed to happen by FDR so that he could put the "Arsenal of democracy" to work helping his secret buddy, Joseph Stalin, the direct handler of his closest advisors (Harry Hopkins, Alger Hiss etc.) if not also his wife.
Was it called The Roosevelt Myth?
