Since 2002, the Defense Department and FAA have been helping Afghanistan rebuild its civil aviation system. Despite its best efforts though, the FAA was unable to train enough air traffic controllers to let Afghanistan to operate on its own.

Deputy IG Gene Aloise joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with more on that report.
