What a way to set a precedent on terrorism

[~Rocktar~]

In the wake of the whole "The Interview" mess this article stands out as a clear cut examination of the deeper meaning of Sony and the theater's decision to not release the film. There is a well documented history of US companies and government agencies crying out for help in defending against cyber spying, cyber crime and cyber terrorism. Now, maybe this will highlight the need to work on this part of our infrastructure? Who knows, in the end, we do know that this sets a horrible precedent in caving in to terrorism and threats to free speech.

The GOP is going to the movies. After the North Korean GOP (http://www.ibtimes.com/sony-blame-north-korea-guardians-peace-hack-leaked-movies-corporate-documents-report-1733099) scared everybody out of showing The Interview in the United States, the chairman of the American GOP (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2014-12-21/republicans-devise-plan-to-screen-the-interview-save-freedom) said he would encourage all Republicans to buy tickets to the movie. Appearing on Face the Nation this morning, Marco Rubio agreed.


Rubio appeared on several Sunday morning programs. On CBS' "Face the Nation," he talked about the furor over North Korea's hacking and Sony's decision not to release "The Interview." Rubio supported an idea floated by the head of the Republican Party, Reince Priebus, to ask people to buy tickets to "The Interview."

"I think as many Americans as possible that can show that they're not going to be deterred by these sort of attacks, the better off we're all going to be," Rubio told Bob Schieffer. "The problem Sony is saying is that movie theaters don't want to show it because of that threat that was made about hurting people at the movie theaters.

"But I think it is critical, that whether it's downloading it on a streaming video platform or actually having people open up their facility so that folks can watch this movie, I think it's an important part of our response that we show that we're not going to allow these attacks to infringe upon our constitutional rights."
