The problem is that you guys expect them to even tell you the truth.

My understanding is that the stages to developing weaponinzed anthrax would be something like this:

1. Growing the anthrax in a liquid form.

2. Drying the anthrax

3. Milling it to a small size so the victim will inhale it deep into the lungs.

4. Applying some anti-static additive so the anthrax will stay suspending in the air so more will be inhaled.

5. Genetically engineering the anthrax to make it resistant to antibiotics.

Russia, the US and perhaps some other countries have been able to do all of these steps and produce a truly lethal biochem.

Iraq on the other hand was stopped short of step 5.

The terminology used by everyone is accurate, but they are all stopping short of drawing the obvious conclusion. (ahem...)
