Quote:BTW there are several ex CIA operatives which state opinions as mine. But of course no longer belonging to the system they are all liars... :-(No, that would be evidence, and has some merit in a discussion if they were actually involved. I'm skeptical of treating anything as "truth" which is merely hearsay. The preponderence of evidence (even from the two links you supplied) suggests that "Reagan" (Actually William Casey, as we all know that Reagan maintained an aura of plausible deniability) did know about and contribute to the evils of Saddam. Conjecture is fine for bandying about conspiracy theories, and if you do not mind looking the fool when the truth is revealed. I do not deny "every" sources credibility, and just because you or I provide a hyperlink does not make it a source. I think every source should be scrutinized for credibility, and if their are concerns about them they should be addressed.
As for your supplied links, they state nothing to undermine the position which I have already stated. I believe that Iraq may have acquired biological materials from the US for agricultural pathogen research under the auspices of doing good, not evil. Your source states that the DOC did not have any records prior to 1985. But, I would accept that we were probably gullible or naive enough to trust Iraq, at that time. There was a time when any university in the world could order Anthrax bacillus from the University of Iowa, Ames Veterinary Research Institute via mail order.
