"I read an interview with Richard Butler in which he said that Saddam almost certainly concentrated his efforts on biological weapons but there was no "proof" connecting him with anthrax in the West."

No, there is no "proof". None that has been published, at least.

But, in your view, what is the most likely source of the anthrax? What kind of odds would you cite regarding Iraq, as opposed to other possible sources?

This may seem like a cop-out, but I don't think about it because I don't know how to think about it. There are so many angry lunatics out there. Without evidence how do you distinguish one from the other?

I once tried to figure out who killed JFK. I'd read the work of an expert, go to hear him speak, and come away convinced he was right. Then I'd hear about someone else who had a different theory, repeat the procedure, and decide he was right.

I got exactly nowhere.
