August 22, 2007 David Warner
A BuzzFlash reader thinks David Warner, M.D. and Ph.D., a public health expert from San Diego, deserves this week's Wings of Justice Award: "For his single-handed efforts to expose the billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars being wasted in Afghanistan and documenting U.S. (Katrina-like) failures in reconstruction there, even when warned by the Pentagon not to go public with what he has discovered. Our tax dollars are being wasted while the health of Afghanis is not only not being helped, but in many cases, is being threatened even further by our government's actions."Warner has tried everything he possibly can to alert Bush Administration officials as to the waste and corruption involved in healthcare aid to Afghanistan, but to no avail. According to a CBS News report: 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.We looked through Warner's credentials and this guy is loaded to the teeth, with an expertise in computer modeling of public health responses to crises. This is a guy who knows the difference between man-made disasters and natural disasters. The public health crisis in Afghanistan falls into the former, corrupt Bushevik style. For caring about the health of the people of Afghanistan -- and speaking out about the waste of our tax dollars -- David Warner merits this week's BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award.
