This computer generated architectural rendering recently posted on the architect's web site reportedly shows the entrance to the residence of the Deputy Chief of Mission, part of the American Embassy complex in Baghdad, Iraq, currently under construction. Detailed plans for the new U.S. Embassy now under construction in Baghdad appeared online Thursday, May 31, 2007, in a breach of the tight security surrounding the sensitive project that will be America's largest diplomatic mission abroad. The post was removed by the company from its website shortly after being contacted about it by the State Department. (AP Photo)
the $592 million embassy, expected to be completed in September on prime real estate two-thirds the size of Washington’s National Mall, will be a spacious and comfortable facility, albeit dangerous.

592 million?
I could build one heckuva bunker with that. ;-)
I wonder if this was an intentional charade. As in, the almost-real plans with a few key changes.
Nice little success story we have going on over there, Dubya.
No way a project of this size can be kept secret.
Wrong.
Their legacy lives on in the current U.S. stumblebum bureaucracy.
NOBODY could be this stupid, right?

did someone put Chertoff on this?
There have been more leaks with this Administration than a plumber sees in a lifetime.
Since we never punish those who leak our national secrets and refuse to pursue leakers if we don’t get “cooperation”, what’s the big deal? The CIA, FBI, State Department and our own Congressional members and staff are our greatest leakers and they still have their comfy jobs! Does anyone in a position to do something about this give a damn? Let’s have Sandy BURGler investigate this.
WTF?
I wonder if this includes anti-aircraft batteries?
