We've spent more of our tax money trying to help rebuild Afghanistan than we've spent on any other single country in history: $120 billion and counting. Unfortunately, that includes billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse according to Inspector General John Sopko, an Obama appointee. And now he's facing a new obstacle in tracking how our money is being spent: the U.S. military has classified much of the information he needs to make his assessments. That's our cover story this week on Full Measure.
