evidence: These are part of a catalog of "waste, fraud and abuse" complaints made against the United States’ reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan – an effort totaling $145 billion over 20 years – made by the United States’ own inspector general into the war. But the in-depth audits detailing these findings have, for the most part, been taken offline at the request of the State Department, citing security concerns. [...] An extensive ring road around Afghanistan was funded by multiple grants and donors, totaling billions during the course of the war. Towards the end of the project, a 233-kilometer section in the North, between the towns of Qeysar and Laman, led to $249 million being handed out to contractors, but only 15% of the road being built, a SIGAR audit reported. [...] Over half the money actually spent by TFBSO – $359 million of $675 million – was "spent on indirect and support costs, not directly on projects in Afghanistan," SIGAR concluded in an audit.
