    Afghan war: Did US commanders cover up 'horrific' conditions at hospital?

    House subcommittee hears testimony of 'horrific' conditions at the US-funded Dawood Military Hospital in Afghanistan, including bribery and surgery without anesthesia. Retired officers say there was an attempt to block an investigation.
    By Anna Mulrine, Staff writer / July 25, 2012

    In bracing testimony before a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee this week, top US military officials warned that they are not.

    The hearing centered around the US-funded Dawood Military Hospital in Afghanistan. It’s hardly a household name stateside, but evidence of the “Auschwitz-type” conditions, as one lawmaker put it, and allegations that US military commanders covered it up to put a better face on the Afghan war have caused a firestorm of controversy.

    The photos are extremely graphic, Do NOT view if you have a weak stomach.

    Tax man this hospital is for the Afghan National Army run by the US, not for US forces.

    Not that it makes it any better, but to clarify

    So, we give money to these assholes and NOT follow up to see if they use it properly ????
    Who authorizes these funds ??? How are they given..Cash, Diner's Club, Monopoly Money?
    We NEED some Accountability here. Not a cover up of a cover up.

    That'll never happen
