Rochester Today With Tom Ostrom: North Korea and Cuba

Tom Ostrom and Andy Brownell exchanged views Friday on North Korea's apparent plot to stop the release of a comedy film.

The FBI says it believes the North Korean regime is responsible for the hacking attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment and the demand met by the company to cancel the scheduled release of the movie "The Interview" on Christmas Day. The film depicts a fictitious plot to assassinate the leader of North Korea.

Tom and Andy found themselves disagreeing about President Obama's decision to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba. Ostrom saw it as another example of the administration accommodating U.S. enemies at the expense of the nation and its traditional allies, while Brownell felt it's time to change course in the U.S. dealings with a Cold War enemy in light of the changes that have occurred in the world since the demise of the Iron Curtain.
