Sending the wrong message to the rest of the world
By Robert Campbell, FAIA
Forty thousand people die every year in auto accidents in the United States
400,000 every decade. Far, far more than have died from terrorism
in this country. But we do not respond by withdrawing the right to drive.
Its an analogy that occurs to me whenever I see the latest field of
bollards or other barriers in front of a government building, or enter a
corporate lobby thats been privatized by security guards. Because of
the threat of terrorism, we are slowly withdrawing the right of free civic
movement and assembly. Safety is important, of course. But how does a society
locate the balance point between security and freedom? And who makes that
determination for the rest of us? These are thoughts Ive harbored since
a recent visit to the new American Embassy in Berlin, which opened in July
on a site near the Brandenburg Gate.
The American government and its security experts turned a potentially great
building into a merely acceptable one. (I dont go so far as a writer
for one German newspaper, who called it an average state government
building from New Jersey.) I admire Santa Monica architects Moore Ruble
Yudell for hanging on to as much of the quality as they did. But to most
people, including me, the embassy looks like a lonely fortress, withdrawn
from the city behind wide swaths of what I can only call no-mans-land,
which isolate it like a noxious germ on a microscope slide. Sometimes the
strip of no-mans-land is filled with a hideous forest of black bollards;
at other times, its hidden behind a fence of fierce, tall steel palings.
All those bollards and barriers are described as necessary for security.
But in fact theyre dealing with only a single threat: car bombs. There
are, obviously, other kinds of terrorism: biological; electronic (in which
the enemy disables computer systems and records); or even, in the worst case,
nuclear. When you lock the door against one kind of terrorism, another one
may open. Im not an expert in security, but Id guess that the
most useful antiterrorist weapons dont require the defacing of
architecture. These are, surely, intelligence, surveillance, and redundancy.
One obvious alternative is to forget about being a nationalist emblem and
build, instead, a fortified embassy somewhere on the urban fringe, where
it can be safe. The U.S. government has, in fact, built dozens of such embassies
in recent years, seldom with the help of a distinguished architect. Here,
though, the message is once again clear: Were running away and hiding;
we do not wish to socialize with the locals; and we care nothing for
sustainability.
I would speculate that it is just possible that the safer you try to make
an embassy, the more dangerous it will be. Im reminded of that paradox
as it was defined by architectural sociologists in the case of elementary
schools back in the 1970s. Kids were vandalizing schools, so administrators
responded, for a time, by erecting nearly windowless buildings that looked
like forts. Studies showed that vandalism went up, not down. The visibly
fortified school was especially appealing as a challenge to the vandal. The
visibly fortified embassy is, maybe, a similar target to the terrorist.
So whats the answer? One possibility is to abandon the emblematic embassy.
Embassy functions could be dissociated and scattered here and there more
or less invisibly through a city, connected by information technology. So
far as I could find out at our Berlin conference, there is no research to
prove that workers are safer in a defended emblematic embassy than they would
be in such a dispersed world. And the concept of the emblematic American
embassy, after all, is less than a century old. It arose in the wake of
nationalism in the early 20th century. Before that, diplomatic functions
were centered in the ambassadors residence, with no showy billboard
presence of an embassy building.
Its just a thought. But it does seem better than offering to the world,
in a major public setting, a message of fear and loathing. |

(U//FOUO) This assessment focuses on the potential for terrorists to use
fire as a weapon in attacks against transportation modes and reviews historical
use of this tactic overseas. Improvised incendiary devices (IIDs) can be
extremely dangerous in the confines of transit systems. Fire accelerated
by a flammable material could provide terrorists an alternative attack scenario
when faced with transportation security restrictions that typically focus
on explosives or other weapons. While fires are routinely associated with
lone arsonists or unintentional incidents, this paper speculates on the
advantages of IIDs as a potential tool for terrorists. |

From: Office of the Director of National Intelligence
<odni@service.govdelivery.com>
Subject: ODNI News Release: ODNI Releases Budget Figure for National Intelligence
Program
DNI Releases Budget Figure for 2008 National Intelligence Program
Consistent with Section 601 of the "Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007," Public Law 110-53, the Director of National Intelligence
is disclosing to the public the aggregate amount of funds appropriated by
Congress to the National Intelligence Program (NIP) for fiscal year 2008
not later than 30 days after the end of the fiscal year.
The aggregate amount appropriated to the NIP for fiscal year 2008 was $47.5
Billion.
Any and all subsidiary information concerning the intelligence budget, whether
the information concerns particular intelligence agencies or particular
intelligence programs, will not be disclosed. Beyond the disclosure
of the top-line figure, there will be no other disclosures of currently
classified budget information because such disclosures could harm national
security. The only exceptions to the foregoing are for unclassified
appropriations, primarily for the Community Management Account.

Towards a New Blast Zone: Washington D.C.s Next-Generation Hunting
Forest
Deborah Natsios
In the aftermath of September 11, the clandestine national security periphery
is infiltrating the broader civilian milieu. Counterintelligence is cited
as a critical federal resource for site planning and facilities design. With
the goal of safeguarding the cores high-value targets, aggressive protocols
are being deployed to manage potential threats cloaked beneath chaotic suburban
landscapes. Perimeter security accoutrements of bollards, barbed wire,
blast-resistant and tinted glazing, buffer zones, closed-circuit cameras
and confrontational signage are external clues of more covert technologies
being deployed to discipline the civilian milieu. Like royal hunting forests,
sprawls diffuse formations are to be disciplined by the capitals
emerging technologies of political control. |
