If Sony did do this, it's resulted in a class-action suit brought forth by their employees whose identities are now ripe for the picking. I tend to think Sony is the victim of a hacking but I'm not sure who is behind it. I'll say this, never in my lifetime have I ever been so weary from crisis after crisis since Bozo took office. That fact leads me to believe Bozo has his hand in here, somewhere. Perhaps it's designed to make us all weary enough to accept more 'protection' from Uncle Sam. If that is the intent behind everything, Bozo seriously underestimates true American grit.

At some point and I sincerely hope Ted Cruz is at the helm, there's going to be a big, 'get outta the way while we put an end to this crap'.

What is the default position on any attack?
It’s the Feds until proven otherwise.
US Federal government (and their masters) are the biggest threat to Americans’ liberty.
Start with the criminals in DC and their masters.

Unfortunately for the folks at Zero Hedge, they forget one thing: the Korean War is technically not over--the truce agreement that ended hostilities in 1953 is NOT a peace treaty between North and South Korea. As such, North and South Korean military forces watch each other warily over the DMZ in what amounts to a equivalent of a DEFCON 2 combat condition. As such, both sides have to be extremely wary of even the simpliest provocation that could restart the war in a blink of an eye.

Given the increassingly unstable government in North Korea and its erratic international diplomacy since Kim Il-sung's death in 1994, not to mention their very close-minded view of the outside world, the North Korean government may be just insane enough to consider the showing of The Interview as a provocative act of war and may respond in an ugly fashion for all the wrong reasons. In short, Sony Entertainment pulled the film because it may increase the chance of putting millions of residents of the Seoul metropolitan region at risk, given that the North Koreans have long-range cannons that could lob shells into the Seoul area from just north of the DMZ.
