Great find. EVERYONE - we found the guilty party; they had motive. No other parties could possibly also have had motive (and motive===guilt), so we can stop looking now.</s>

You seem to be in need of this: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/motive http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/motive motive: something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act There is a difference between a motive and stating you intend to take an action. North Korea has a motive AND has publicly stated they intend to take action. They should not be surprised if they are the prime suspect when that action occurs.

  > You seem to be in need of this: http://www.merriam-webster.com/ http://www.merriam-webster.com/ Wow, thanks! Bookmarked. > There is a difference between a motive and stating you intend to take an action. Barely.

NK has a long history of threatening everyone and their mothers with doom and gloom and nuclear boom, and we're all still here (i.e. they rarely follow through). But even then - let's look into the threat a bit, shall we? I can't actually find the original source, best I could do (I gotta run - apologies) is: > "If the US administration allows and defends the showing of the film, a merciless counter-measure will be taken," the spokesman was quoted as saying. [1] So, their merciless counter-measure, that they vowed to on a world stage, was in fact: "We'll pay someone to hack Sony, then deny it" ..? Really? (Let alone that the original threat was obviously aimed at the US administration).

That's exactly what I would do.

    > Wow, thanks! Bookmarked. You're welcome (I can tell that's not sarcasm, since it doesn't have any sarcasm tags ;) > "We'll pay someone to hack Sony, then deny it" NK doesn't always admit to things they do. They denied kidnapping japanese citizens for 25 years, until they admitted it 2002. The Cheonan was sunk by an NK torpedo.. NK denies it.. but an international investigation said NK sunk it.. condemned by the UN security council. (later a defector from NK said the crew that sank it were honored as heros.) Assuming NK to act rational is sometimes asking for too much.
