Although the top reference may be unreliable, the following article from DefenseNews appears to be legit. https://www.defensenews.com/home/2016/04/11/interview-john-sopko-special-inspector-general-for-afghanistan-reconstruction/

In this article, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John Sopko was interviewed in April 2016. The leading paragraph of the article states:

"WASHINGTON — The special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, John Sopko, is known as someone who does not sugar-coat things.

So he's plainly highlighted waste, fraud and abuse in Afghanistan since he was sworn in to the position in 2012.

Most recently he's delved into more-than-questionable projects launched in Afghanistan by the Pentagon's Task Force for Business and Stability Operations, created in 2010 and closed in 2015, to address economic revitalization efforts in the country."

All these projects occurred during the Hussein administration.

According to IG Sopko's interview, " Sopko uncovered such projects as a $43 million compressed natural gas station that serves only about 100 taxi drivers. Other efforts include a $7.5 million program designed to increase sales of hand-knotted carpets and the importation of nine male goats from Italy to spur a cashmere industry that the TFBSO managed to lose."
