Baghdad embassy plans turn up online
By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Detailed plans for the new U.S. Embassy under construction in Baghdad appeared online Thursday in a breach of the tight security surrounding the sensitive project.

Computer-generated projections of the soon-to-be completed, heavily fortified compound were posted on the Web site of the Kansas City, Mo.-based architectural firm that was contracted to design the massive facility in the Iraqi capital.

...

The 10 images included a scheme of the overall layout of the compound, plus depictions of individual buildings including the embassy itself, office annexes, the Marine Corps security post, swimming pool, recreation center and the ambassador's and deputy ambassador's residences.

...

"People are eventually going to figure out where all these places are, but you don't have to draw them a map," said one senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the embassy project.

Few are, and in Baghdad, the construction is under heavy guard and treated with extreme secrecy. It is off-limits to all but those with special passes, surrounded by tall, concrete blast walls and impossible to see except from the air.

The images posted on the Web site show that 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.

Identified as the "Baghdad U.S. Embassy Compound Master Plan," the images show palm-lined paths, green grass gardens and volleyball and basketball courts outside the Marine post, as well as the swimming pool.

"In total, the 104-acre compound will include over twenty buildings, including one classified secure structure and housing for over 380 families," the Web site says.

It says the compound will include the embassy building, housing, a PX, commissary, cinema, retail and shopping areas, restaurants, schools, a fire station, power and water treatment plants as well as telecommunications and wastewater treatment facilities.

1. Fart smellers, ain't they. nt

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

2. This is not an embassy...

...this is our White House in our newest colony, Iraq.

[MichiganVote]

3. Google?

[Stephanie]

4. google what?

?

[helderheid]

19. Google!!!

:rofl:

[BurtWorm]

5. It looks so peaceful there.

In virtual reality.

:patriot:

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Doesn't it though?

:crazy:

[gatorboy]

20. Yes it's called SIMS: FUBAR

[zippy890]

7. the incompetance of this administration is outweighed

only by its colossal arrogance

Iraqis don't have adequate drinking water, sewage treatment, medical facilities, and these ASSHOLES are going to have a swimming pool, cinema, shopping centers.

:wtf:

[Stephanie]

8. bottom line is, we're NOT LEAVING

This fortress ensures that we occupy Iraq permanently.

[zippy890]

9. I bet this never gets completed

just a feeling I have.

[Stephanie]

10. Oh, it will be completed. It's due to open this summer. Some pix >

A portion of the new U.S. embassy under construction is seen from across the Tigris river in Baghdad, Saturday, May 19, 2007. The new $592 million embassy occupies a chunk of prime Baghdad real estate two-thirds the size of Washington's National Mall, with desk space for about 1,000 people behind high, blast-resistant walls. The compound is a symbol both of how much the United States has invested in Iraq and how the circumstances of U.S. involvement are changing. (AP Photo) Email Photo Print Photo

16. It's the one building project the US has undertaken that hasn't failed dismally.

And I agree with you that it does seem to make the stakes that much higher for the Bushists. It's like they've dropped a diamond in a mountain of shit and are waiting to tell the next admin up to go look for it. And they have every reason to think the next admin will dive right in.

[FloridaJudy]

11. Effin' ugly thing, isn't it?

Not to mention it's esthetically unpleasant as well.

[Javaman]

12. these are renderings

Having worked at an arch firm, I can tell you that the renderings look nothing like the finished product.

Also, what would be a bad thing would be to post would be the fire saftey, security and MEP drawings. And or the elevations.

I can tell you this much, since this is being designed by a private firm and not the gov't, it's actually quite easy to get copies of those, but since I don't wish to go to gitmo, I won't say how.

[Stephanie]

15. this isn't everything that was posted

This is just all that remains. The rest was taken down when it was discovered.

[Javaman]

17. Well, then that is indeed a screw up. mostly because...

anyone living close to the arch firm could get copies of the drawings pretty easily, however, anyone over seas that saw that stuff...

I hate moron* and I hate the occupation, but I don't want to see anymore people killed either.

[EstimatedProphet]

13. It's missing a triumphal arch

[BornagainDUer]

18. That would be tough since Bush has failed at everything he's

attempted.

[SaveAmerica]

14. Meanwhile, back in the ji hood:

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. Is that a great big hole on the underside of that water tower?

Or is it just paint or a black mark?

Well, if it is a hole, the tower can still hold a few gallons.
