Personally, I think it was to try to find out if there was technology to detect anthrax in Iraq.

But I don't know squat, other than it's curious that the Finns kept this hush-hush for FIVE MONTHS.

I think it was at least both, to find out what sort of detection technology existed and to point the target finger in an oblique manner.
