So how many qualify as "not all that common"?
How many of those include Congressional leadership?
I'll admit that number is higher than i would like it to be, and probably could be reduced. And the method of funding them needs to be addressed.
I have zero problem with criticizing the amount of money they spend on accomodations, and scrutinizing their actual purposes.
What I am rejecting is the categorical statement that all of them are useless and that Congress should rely purely on the State Department for determinations regarding foreign policy. Just because its being abused does not mean that its incapable of serving a purpose.

They were all classified as including a member of congress, so I ask you again: HOW MANY QUALIFY AS NOT ALL THAT COMMON?
You should also be VERY concerned that private entities are allowed to fund trips for congressional delegations on these trips as well...
They accomplish very little that could not be accomplished in a briefing through secure teleconference... VERY LITTLE...
