Sorry - my bad - you are correct, we supplied them with the precursors for biological weapons with the knowledge that they would develop those weapons. It's not the same as supplying them with the actual weapons, but it's close...

No its not. The rules for purchasing these agents were extremely lax in years past. Any professor at a community college could buy vials of anthrax, botulinum, etc. All they needed was aproval from some desk jockey at the Center of Disease and Control. The FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD, State Deparment, Congress, or even the president did give any form of aproval to these sales or even demonstrate knowledge that such sales were taken place. Such was the naivety of the laws regulating the sale of these biogical agents. It was assumed that since they were not weaponized that they posed no threat.
