In what the State Department is calling a breach of security, the architectural firm designing the new U.S. Embassy in Iraq has posted its designs online. The firm, Berger Devine Yaeger, says the $600 million project will include “two office buildings, six apartment buildings, a gym, a pool, a food court and its own power generation and water-treatment plants.” The U.S. ambassador’s residence will be 16,000 square feet. The Embassy will be the size of nearly 80 football fields. The plans were removed after U.S. officials complained.
