\nNorth Korea<\/strong> has not yet sent two convicted US journalists to a prison labor camp in a possible attempt to seek talks with Washington on their release, a scholar who visited the North said in an interview published Friday.<\/p>\n

"I heard from North Korean officials that the American journalists were doing fine at a guest house in Pyongyang,"<\/em> Park told South Korea’s JoongAng Ilbo newspaper. Park, originally from South Korea, arrived Thursday in Seoul following a trip to Pyongyang.<\/p>\n

Park said North Korean officials were angry at the journalists for trying to produce a program critical of North Korea. But Park said the issue could be resolved.<\/p>\n

A South Korean who helped organize the journalists’ reporting trip to China, the Rev. Chun Ki-won, said in April that the women traveled to the border region with North Korea to interview women and children who had fled the impoverished country.

\n"North Korea’s move not to carry out the sentence suggests that it could release them through a dialogue with the United States and they could be set free at an early date, depending on the US gesture,"<\/strong><\/em> Park said.<\/p>\n

North Korea and the US fought on opposite sides of the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. Washington and Pyongyang do not have diplomatic relations.<\/p>\n

Looks like he’s not as dumb as we thought..Why the missile tests?
