Atrocious Diplomacy

New York Post:

The State Department blocked a New York congresswoman from traveling to Qatar after being informed she planned to raise sharp questions about a high-ranking Qatar official's relationship with the al Qaeda terror network, The Post has learned. Rep. Sue Kelly (R-Katonah) confirmed that she was forced to cancel a visit to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates earlier this month after the State Department raised questions about her eligibility to receive official travel expenses.

Yeah sure, that's the reason: With annual government revenues at approximately two trillion dollars, the State Department can't provide a few thousand dollars to a dauntless American woman.
