I loved the way that the older bioweapons expert guy, sorry can't remember his name, put that loud mouthed (D) in his place toward the end.
He said "What makes us so sure that Iraq hasn't already used BW against us?". He then said " We still haven't figured out the source of the Anthrax last year and Iraq CERTAINLY had the capability to make Anthrax of that quality".

THIS is where more attention should be focussed. Saddam's bioweapons program is likely very advanced. I'm sure that more than a couple of former Soviet scientists have sold their services and/or equipment to Iraq. Considering the men who created these weapons have been paid the equivalent $100 a month, and that was when they even GOT paid.
The bioweapons expert at this hearing is spot-on. But the latest and greatest in bioweapons is the binary chemical and biological weapons. This technology works when two non-lethal germs or chemicals are used, but when they come together, the results are deadly. The first part could already be here. In fact both parts could already have been released into the population and we don't know it yet because it could take months until a person infected with part one becomes exposed to part two.
