Corruption and waste in Afghanistan

Pratap Chatterjee writes about the corruption in Afghanistan. For instance, VP Fahim's two brothers have a company that gets big contracts for reconstruction:
Fahim's brothers, notably Abdul Hasin, started to build a business empire -- and not long after, good fortune began to rain down on the family in the form of lucrative "reconstruction" contracts.

This leads to the waste of much international aid.
