It's not just Iraq

Shoddy reconstruction is taking place in Afghanistan as well, or so says CorpWatch, an organization I'd never heard of. But, the report seems grounded in reality. Here are some of the findings:

"A highway that begins crumbling before it is finished. A school with a collapsed roof. A clinic with faulty plumbing. A farmers’ cooperative that farmers can’t use. Afghan police and military that, after training, are incapable of providing the most basic security. And contractors walking away with millions of dollars in aid money for the work."
