Governor Now 'Less Concerned' Over Boston Threat
OK, so now it is most likely a HOAX. It was all along, one to send a silent warning to the Dems in Boston and two, a warning to China to make them look like terrorists invading the US and they'd better watch out and not interfere with our future invasion of Iran ...that's my theory...

BOSTON (Reuters) - Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said on Friday he was growing less concerned about a reported "dirty bomb" threat to Boston that was never confirmed but spurred an FBI manhunt for 14 people.


In the latest in a series of official pronouncements downplaying the threat, Romney said law enforcement authorities were lending less credibility to the anonymous, uncorroborated tip that prompted the "terror alert."


"There is nothing that increases the reliability or the credibility of the threat that I've seen," Romney told reporters on Friday afternoon. "As a matter of fact, over time I have become less concerned, not more concerned."


The top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts would not rule out the possibility of a hoax, while Boston newspapers reported on Friday that officials were eyeing revenge as a possible motive for the anonymous tip received by California police.

3. Here I thought
it was an attempt to cover the inagural protests. But your points make sense. Maybe a third 'benefit'?
