I'd heard all that before. The small quantities of biological agents an American lab sold to Iraq don't equal chemical or biological weapons though. Yes, Iraq could have used the material he got from America to grow more and weaponize that. But most of the material can be obtained from other sources -anthrax is found in the soil around the world, botulism you can grow in your kitchen if you're not careful, e. coli is found in the human intestine, etc. It was at one time normal for laboratories to sell such material to other labs with little if any restrictions.
