I can just imagine Mr. Rumsfield (for those outside the US: our current
Defense Secretary) giving Sony's CEO a call and politely asking whether
he should cancel all DoD contracts with Sony, immediately and
permanently, to ensure the security of his computers.  The CEO can try
to explain things and calm the customer down, but that the threat would
at all seem even potentially justified...
