Tunisia: Little country -- big U.S. embassy, page

In my print subscription to Counterpunch, in the current issue (December 16-31, 2011) that arrived in today's mail, the world's latest U.S. oversized embassy is unveiled. The old U.S. embassy was, of course, in the downtown area of Tunis, Tunisia, with the new (and heavily guarded) mega-embassy being located on the outskirts. Stay tuned to the Counterpunch website, where this article will appear online as soon as the next print issue appears:

Here's the current AFRICOM website:
