On May 21 I commented on our new embassy in Iraq and reported that it was one of the few projects that was supposed to be on time and on budget. I spoke too soon. Today's Washington Post speaks of a cable from the current embassy which reports that the first major building, the base for the guards, was not habitable - some appliances did not work, workers got electrical shocks, wiring melted, rooms in trailers were filled with formaldehyde fumes
How the situation could change so rapidly is the question.
