Wow, SI is great! A truly hilarious conversation:

A --- We sold Saddam anthrax well after it was known he was developing and deploying WMD:

B --- So what, how were we to know he was using it for weapons?

A --- "Did you notice that some of those biological agents were shipped to Iraq's Atomic Energy Commission? What might you think the Atomic Energy Commission does with biological agents?"

B --- "After wracking my brain, I can't think of a good answer. I certainly don't think that the Iraqi AEC can actually use biological agents for any purpose other than the obvious. I don't see any synergies here. "

A --- "The Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission is a weapon's development center. What's obvious to me, is that they want biological material to develop biological weapons. What was obvious to you?"

So, the anthrax, etc. was actually being shipped directly to Saddam's explicitly-labeled WMD program. And this fact doesn't faze the true believers for a minute. The responses to facts sound like an Ari Fleischer press conference.
