Lawmakers Fume on Canceled N. Korea Trip

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ten lawmakers whose trip to North Korea was canceled by the White House have sent a scathing letter to President Bush, complaining of the ``arrogant and disrespectful'' treatment from his national security advisers.

The five Republicans and five Democrats said they were offended ``and believe you are being ill-served by your National Security Council staff.'' A copy of the 5-page letter, dated Thursday, was obtained by The Associated Press.

There was no immediate comment from the White House.

The letter adds to growing tensions between lawmakers and the White House on foreign policy issues. Republicans and Democrats have repeatedly complained that the White House has been arrogant in its handling of the Iraq issue, failing to provide information sought by lawmakers or heed the concerns they've raised.
