The reporter missed the entire story.

A laydown of bio agents to hit US cities would be so easy, even using commercially availably off-the-shelf equipment.

Buy a Cessna or Piper agricultural spray plane ($200,000).
Install a GPS receiver with 200 waypoint capability ($8,500.)
Link it to the autopilot ($300).
Program in waypoints in Boston, NYC, DC, etc. (about 20 minutes work.)
Load it with anthrax power (about a hour's work.)
Launch from some unguarded dirt strip in Canada, Bahamas, Turks and Cacaos, et. (very easy, druggies do it all the time)

Result. 100,000 dead (Read "The Cobra Event.") For even more fun, launch 5-8 at a time, at night, low and slow. Never stop them.

Even easier. Load a semi trailer with a hole in the roof, a small snow blower, anthrax. Drive around Rt 128 in Boston, I-95 to NYC, around NYC, Newark, Philly, DC on the interstate highways that ring those cities.

It would be VERY easy!

PS: Anyone think that the Saddamites haven't already thought of this?

Yep, but why buy one when you can probably steal a plane?
