Computer hackers are not boots-on-the-ground terrorists, Sony.

The "GOP" hackers already compromised Sony's network and IT systems. All they can do is release more data, emails and stuff. And probably mess with other parts of Sony's affiliated networks that haven't been smart enough to change passwords and access protocols by now.

That's all the damage the hackers could possibly do.

Unless North Korea (their alleged State sponsor) is willing to send in special forces to invade American movie theaters, there was no other threat to releasing "The Interview".

I'm with Game of Throne's George R.R. Martin who said "The level of corporate cowardice here astonishes me."
