Do we know if these are chemicals that had to be purchased illegally?

Well, they stated on CNN Int that the blister agent in question was sulfuric acid.

And also taking into account that you can get some fairly nasty pecticides in developing countries that are banned in the US, it is a real possibility that these chemicals are fairly available. In other words, it doesn't have to be related to Saddam's WMD's. The interesting thing though is that many of the "WMD finds" in Iraq involved just pecticides which where often hidden in military bunkers and dug into the sand.

I don't know what is more scary?

That Saddam's WMD's are in Zarqawi's hands, or that all these toxins can be aquired at the baazar in any of the trashcanistans.
