Obama already calibrated the governments stance on this ordeal when he said the Sony hack was vandalism and NOT terrorism. I don't believe the government being responsible for NK's internet problems is in line with that. He also seemed to believe that the fault for any censorship as a result of the hack lies squarely within the US.

IMO it lies squarely with the FBI who wouldn't say it was not a credible threat. If you come to the FBI with a threat, and they say that it's credible, what are you going to do next?

  After the government told me something about a security threat? The same government that puts us on these orange and yellow and red alerts and nothing ever happens? And if something does happen there is no alert, or there are too many security advisories they don't know which ones are credible and then the whole incident gets politicised, turned into a blame game, and broken down into sound bites for Rush and ammo for polarized netizens to spew at each other turning every comment section on every current event article, ever, into a partisan war? Yeah, I'm not sure. But I can tell you I don't know a person alive or an institution operating today for which I could tell you how I would react to information they gave me without being fully seeped in the context in which it was given. Also, I don't know anything about what the FBI did or didn't say. I just know what was released(yeah :|) on what Obama said, which was that he would have liked for Sony or the Movie chains to have reached out. Ultimately, I think it's a societal issue. Our culture has become terrorized since 9/11. We are a bunch of wet blankets. It's a huge problem that we have no spine outside the military/intelligence community. We just get led around by the nose.
