I agree. It's also an awful burden on the Embassy people, who have to shuttle them around, are responsible for their security, host dinners, etc. and our Embassy's are not really staffed for it. From what I've been told, most of the CODELs really expect to have their butts kissed and their every whim and desire arranged.

It wouldn't bother me so much if anything ever came out of it, but nothing ever does. Sometimes a question will trickle down, but not usually. And the Staffers and Departmental people spend weeks and weeks preparing papers and staff books for these trips, taking them away from doing their real work.

It's been going on for years and years, and no one ever seems to stop it.
