LETTERS: Sony goes wrong with ‘The Interview’

To the editor:

I can’t believe the things I am hearing in the news from people who cannot see what is wrong with “The Interview,” a movie about a plan to kill the leader of North Korea. Would these people think differently if the plot was about killing the Queen of England, or the Pope? What is wrong with this country? Did Sony not think a country would retaliate?

As far as the cyber-attack, this stuff goes on all the time. Our country, partnering with Israel, launched a cyber-attack on Iran with a worm that attacked uranium centrifuges. The worm was supposed to destroy itself when it was finished carrying out this process, but failed to do so. Iranian programmers studied this program and used it against us and probably others.

Sony should have known better, regardless of the movie being a comedy, and even if North Korea is considered an enemy of the free world.
