President obama lands in hawaii for the christmas holiday, the regime lashes out via its state-run television. all of its usual bluster, the regime slams the u.s. governments investigation of the sony hack as childish. that north korea is being framed, saying it can prove its innocence without using any torture methods like the american cia, those digs come in response to president obama, that the evidence points to pyongyang. >> they caused a lot of damage. and we will respond. we will respond ...

It is for america. it came from the national defense commission. this is the agency that as far as we know runs the military. the pentagon, if you will, speaking directly for kim jong un. the other thing that i note is that they are trying to up the ante. north korea craves attention and they are saying everyone is concerned about cyber attacks? were going to make it worse. >> jamie, nice to see you. how do you take the new threats? is it all bluster or is this the beginning of a more aggressive...

So you really begin to wrap your head around the clues and motivations behind this horrific attack. back to you. the united states is turning to china for help dealing with cyberattacks like the one that hit sony pictures. that attack which the u.s. blames on north korea prompted the studio to stop the release of its satirical film called "the interview." the movie depicts the assassination of north koreas leader. north korea insists it was not behind the cyberattack. as kyung lah reports for ...

Being framed and that they plan on retaliating again as you said not against the moviegoers, but against the org fators of the quote insults against our supreme leader and this i found quite curious. we heard before from the regime in other cases where they have been accused of lashing out against the united states or south korea. but they say they want a mutual investigation of whats been happening to sony. they want to work with america and i want to read one part of the statement saying, quot...

States for the hacking. it also threatens, quote, serious consequences, if the u.s. continues to link pyongyang to the attack and if it refuses to team up with north korea in the investigation. here now is cnns kyung lah. >> reporter: just hours after president obama lands in hawaii for the holiday, the regime lashes out via a state-run television, with all of its usual bluster, the regime slams a u.s. governments investigation of the sony hack as childish. that north korea is being framed, sayi...

The situation and agree that such behavior is unacceptable. yesterday president obama said this was no indication that any country apart from north korea was behind the attack on sony pictures. also today a statement from north korea. according to that countrys state-run news agency north korea claims its being framed by the united states for that cyberattack. it is also threatening, quote, serious consequences if the u.s. continues to link pyongyang to the attack and it refuses to team up with ...

>> they say when you look at rhetoric from north korea, its bluster. then you could argue on sonys behalf, maybe they just didnt want to take a chance. that said, a lot of people agree with you that they totally caved. let me focus on the present. what should movie companies be doing now in reaction to these threats and hacking of sony pictures? today it would be sony. tomorrow it would be my parent company time warner. who knows who could be next. >> thats the problem with the cave. it changes ...

And it raises i think really big and important questions about how you react to something like this. and im not sure what the answer is. >> well what is the possible reaction to this? first of all it says a lot about kim jong-un. remember that puppet movie that was out about his dad. so hes got a thinner skin as far as this is concerned. what can or should the united states do? >> well, you know its interesting. were used to the sort of over the top bafoon-ish rhetoric coming from north korea. i...

And that has really big implications. this is not something that even our government is able to do. >> it was already used to censuring their own activities, but now theyve reached outside of their borders. its interesting because were used to a fair amount of bluster and often idol threats from north korea. does this seem because its in the cyber realm, this is something more gray? >> here is what theyve done. normally we see these threats when theyve created a new missile. often these missiles...

Kim jong-un, but it was even more stupid to cave in to pressure because he said it would be seen as america is vulnerable to blackmail and north korea will try it again. we have seen north korea and the bluster over the nuclear program again and again and again as an effort to get to the table. they do a lot of things and say a lot of things to get to the table. if you listen to any intelligence expert, they will tell you they believe there is zero chance they would be some 9/11 style attack on ...
