[KS] Jong-il Personality Cult

[Yong-ho Choe]

Not directly related to the issues raised here, I have a question regarding 
the disposition of the captured U.S. ship Pueblo.  The ship was captured by 
NK near Wonsan in east coast, but it is now being displayed near 
Pyongyang.  How did NK transport it there?  I cannot imagine that the US 
would have allowed NK to remove it via high sea.  The only alternative must 
have been by land.  Is it possible to move the ship Pueblo via ground 
transportation?
