Jang Song Thaek, the uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un who was executed last month for "hideous" crimes, reportedly died a hideous death, thrown into a cage with as many as 120 hungry dogs that ate him alive. According to a new report from Wen Wei Po, a pro-Beijing newspaper "with close ties to China's ruling Communist Party," Jang and his five closest aides were stripped naked and put into a cage with hunting dogs that had been deprived of food for five days. Kim Jong Un, his brother Kim Jong Chol and 300 other officials reportedly watched the one-hour ordeal where Jang and his aides were "completely eaten up." The report from Wen Wei Po was republished by NBC News but not confirmed, NBC noted. Jang Song Thaek was executed by the orders of Kim Jong Un last month after being physically removed from his government post, charged with corruption. According to the official Korean Central News Agency, Jang, who was part of the leader’s inner circle and served as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was a "traitor." http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/03/22156917-kim-jong-uns-executed-uncle-was-eaten-alive-by-120-hungry-dogs-report

Considering that Jang was the main person in DPRK that was for opening and reforming along the Chinese model to some extent, it's not surprising that the Chinese State Media Apparatus would put out such a scenario for his execution to make Kim look like a madman. I'm not saying this is out of the realm of possibilities but this seems pretty far out. This was his aunt's husband after all and someone extremely loyal his father and grandfather. It's just that Kim jr. wanted regime consolidation and Jang had too many people loyal to him in every aspect of the Party, Military to some extent, foreign ministries, and higher end foreign currency earning outlets. Here's a look at the regime shakeup: http://www.dailynk.com/english/read.php?num=11328&cataId=nk00400

The only remote possible strategy for survival might have been to kill a few dogs with kicks to the head and then lead the pack to eating the dead dogs. Then lead that pack against those who were watching the ordeal. Top-down control must become a vicious cancer, because it must destroy everything by preventing annealing thus to survive people must violate the control. Annealing is precisely localized freedom. The irony is how readers may not realize we are approaching top-down control in our own countries. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=365141.msg4336719#msg4336719

Dog food remains as one of the favorite food items in North Korea.

Be it satirical or not, his uncle's death is is less gruesome & brutal than the deaths of thousands of North Koreans who died of mass starvation while Kim Jong Un lived it up & PRC is his sponsor & collaborator.

http://blog.al.com/wire/2014/01/north_korean_leaders_uncle_was.htmlNorth Korean leader's uncle was not killed by hungry dogsKim’s uncle, who had been the No. 2 person in the North Korean government, was most likely killed by firing squad before his execution was announced on Dec. 13.
The fictitious story first appeared on a satirical Chinese website where it was posted by editor Pyongyang Choi Seongho. That story was lifted almost verbatim and reported in Wen Wei Po, a Hong Kong tabloid. Soon after, it was published in English in the Singapore newspaper Straits Times.
After that, the Guardian and blogger Trevor Powell report, several Western news organizations published the story without doing any independent reporting or fact-checking.
The Guardian called the incident “… an astonishing example of the media echo chamber gone awry."

The real question is, how could they possibly fact check a story like this? Foreign journalists are at the top of the list of people who wouldn't be able to get into the country. Let's just put it this way: if the story has specific detail, and it's out of North Korea, realise instantly that there's no way of proving that it's true.

Can tourists get in or is it disallowed to basically most foreigners?

The only people that are allowed in or out are political figures from North Korea or other countries. And in the case of those from the outside, it's a really picky selection process. Dennis Rodman counts as a political figure, apparently (and in the context he went to North Korea, it was to make a politically motivated appearance, even if he was just claiming to be visiting his friend Kim Jong Un) All we know about this report is that someone, who isn't the DRNK leadership, reported the story on a blog. That doesn't mean it isn't true. It doesn't mean it is either. Someone writing statements down in a public place isn't good enough to prove the contents, that's my basic rule. Dennis Rodman definitely went to North Korea and met with Kim Jong Un though, and it's pretty obvious how we know that's true.
