AJLynn Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 A firm working on the US embassy in Baghdad screwed up, big time this week by accidentally making classified drawings of the compound available of their web site. This was after they screwed up, big time by making what just may be the worst render ever of a $592 million project. It's bad for security, but good for a few laughs.

AJLynn Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 With all due respect, Andrew, why are we keeping this breach alive? It's on practically every news site and all over everything, so it's not me keeping it alive. I'm assuming nobody out there is republishing the plans. Sorry in advance if I anybody gets on any kind of list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It's on practically every news site and all over everything, so it's not me keeping it alive. I do not mean this in any sort of harsh way, no matter how it may read. But by re-posting the picture, we are most certainly keeping the breach alive. I don't care how many site have it--we don't have to add to the list. However, its not a major breach, since the existence of the facility, the location, cost (as if that's all we'll spend) and a partial list of what will be built are well known. All this is, really, is some bad rendering work. I guess the arch. firm had to use internal staff because it would be too risky hiring a freelancer. I think I'm just humor-challenged today.

Ernest Burden III Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I resign as the thought/patriotism police, with apologies to all. The ugly rendering is now the featured picture at the top of MSNBC.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
