A North Korean official said on Saturday that the secretive regime wants to mount a joint investigation with the United States to identify who was behind the cyber attack against Sony Pictures.

An unnamed spokesman of the North Korean foreign ministry was quoted by the country's state news agency, KCNA, describing US claims they were behind the hack as "slander."

"As the United States is spreading groundless allegations and slandering us, we propose a joint investigation with it into this incident," the official said, according to Agence France-Presse.

After they began publishing leaked Sony movies, internal correspondence, and company employees' personal data last month, the hackers released statements indicating they objected to the portrayal of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Sony's movie "The Interview." Both the FBI and President Barack Obama have said evidence was uncovered linking the hack to to North Korea. However, some experts have questioned the evidence tying the attack to Pyongyang.

The North Koreans will 'play' Valerie Jarrett (the REAL president) for all it's worth.

This regime is a joke on the world stage.

They can’t find a bushel of corn but, think they can help find a “supposed” hacker.

“Maybe they can help OJ with his search and he can help them with theirs....”

Actually, they’re requesting he be released from jail so he can play the detective in a movie they are making about the hunt for the real culprit. As it turns out, though, OJ is unneeded. Through a set of brilliant deductions that leave computer scientists aghast, Kim, himself identifies the hacker. He then jumps off a skyscraper and swims the Atlantic ocean in two hours to chase down the dirty felon.

I’m suprised the norks didn’t invoke the long standing international boogie man, the CIA setting them up to take the fall...

I mean who else would do it...?

China might be the ones actually doing it but after reading the jug eared clown’s not so subtle threats to the news media I have no doubt Obama is involved.

When Obama comes out and speaks with a tough guy routine like he did you know he’s rehearsed what he is going to say and he is trying to separate himself from what he is speaking about.

They want to find the hackers and hire them. It's a recruiting thing.
