American doctor Dave Warner is on a mission in eastern Afghanistan to show people back home how billions of taxpayer dollars sent here are being wasted.<\/p>\n

“When I was here in December,” Warner told CBS News chief forign correspondent Lara Logan. “This was full so you can see they’ve dug another pit over here.”<\/p>\n

Rotting bio-waste is dumped in the hospital’s backyard because as Warner and the hospital director showed us next – the new waste incinerator donated by the U.S. government is completely useless. Even if the hospital knew how to run it, they can’t afford the fuel.<\/p>\n

“It’s not used very often “\u00a6 at all,” he said.<\/p>\n

It was a gift from the American people.<\/p>\n

“Isn’t that nice?” Warner said.<\/p>\n

Warner is a public health expert from San Diego who’s taken it upon himself to do what no one else in Afghanistan seems to be doing – documenting the failures in reconstruction. He says the system can’t be fixed unless those responsible first admit that it’s broken.<\/p>\n

But it’s a hard sell. Warner says he has tried to report his findings to officials at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n
