Participants and observers agree that Washington diplomacy is a free-wheeling, informal, highly complex scramble to shape the American debate on international affairs and to influence U.S. policies that often have global consequences.
In Washington, timeless traditions and long established rules that are scrupulously adhered to in other capitals are often turned on their heads or reformulated in ways that make them unrecognizable.
Diplomats have to be aware of the views and influence of dozens of interest groups that have a real impact,î Cutler added.

State Department officials said efforts to secure the aid workers' release are complicated by the lack of formal diplomatic relations with the Taliban, which the United States does not recognize as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
