The existence of the 25,000 liters of anthrax is entirely conjectural. It is in fact the amount of anthrax that could have been grown, using growth media which Iraq is known to have ordered.

The exact amount is conjectural. But, from UNSCOM's final reports, according to your link:

Iraq admitted to the weaponization of thousands of liters of anthrax, botulinim [sic] toxin, and aflatoxin for use with Scud warheads, aerial bombs and aircraft.
Now, it's true that this includes not just anthrax, but also botulinum toxin and aflatoxin, and it says "thousands of liters" instead of "25,000 liters" specifically.

So we still have a "dog that didn't bark". Where are the thousands of liters of anthrax, botulinum toxin, and aflatoxin that Iraq admitted to having? Or, if the admission was a bluff on the part of Saddam or his scientists, where is the evidence of that?
